Why would devs back another underpowered Nintendo console?

That is difrent matter, but whats most important is that platform actualy sells and that is popular. Just look how much Wii had Fifa, NBA, Maiden, NHL, NFS, CoD...games compared to Wii U.

It's not. The OG Xbox got good third party support against the PS2. 150m vs what, 23m? What's most important is audience. If Switch sells 20m units and all those people buy multiplats, multiplats will stay. If it sells 150m and no one buys multiplats, they won't.

The Wii had horrible multiplatform support. It isn't a shining example of getting multiplats. For every Fifa, it missed 3 Bioshocks.

OG Xbox actualy had stronger hardware than PS2/GC so porting was much easier, while Wii was 20-30 x less powerful than PS3/Xbox360 so porting game to 20-30x less powerful challenge was real chalanage.

And yet had better 3rd party support than Wii U, 11 Fifa games, 7 NBA games, 6 Need For Speed games, 5 Call of Duty games...how many Wii U had of those games exactly.
