Take-Two: Nintendo “making a great effort to support third-party developers”, “optimistic” about Switch

Yup, those games are all system seller and that means that Switch will actually sell in 1st year compared to Wii U for instance.

Does that mean those people are actually going to buy NBA 2K though? That's the bigger issue. 

Even the 3DS struggled with this and lost a lot of third party support from its early days. Where are all the 3DS Resident Evil games now? Even got locked out of RE Revelations 2. No more Metal Gear, Kingdom Hearts, Ridge Racer, Tekken, Street Fighter, etc. and baiscally nothing from Western 3rd parties other than Lego. EA stopped with things like FIFA ages ago. 

It's all basically Monster Hunter, Yokai Watch, and a handful of other IP, but nothing else. 

Nintendo's userbase has some complicity here, they don't bother supporting anything other than same old Nintendo franchises and even many of those they don't support. 

A way to deal with that would be for continues bundle with 3rd party and Nintendo's one. Two bundle options could help.

I would have done a continues EA Sports bundle in a long NS switch support deal along side the expected Nintendo ones. That might be a good start for expanding that audience or recapture it.
