Why would devs back another underpowered Nintendo console?

If it were really just a few more bucks third partys would already be putting their games on Nintendo systems by themselves, so I can't believe the cost is insignificant. The niche games Nintendo invest in can't be played anywhere else atleast, so I'd rather they stick to that instead of trying to get games I can already play on PS4.

I just think you're going to have problems with a truly mainstream platform without sports games. Sports are kind of a big deal globally. It makes your platform look amateurish or at least like some Disney fantasy in Nintendo's case ... just mascots all over the place and nothing but for the most part. 

I have a PS4 too, but I can't play NBA 2K on an airplane. 

 

Problems doing well? Nah, 3DS did well enough without them.

So, just play something else!
