And Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2 and Super Mario Odyssey aren't coming to the PS4 and XBONE. All those games could easily surpass 10 million copies sold. Pretty good for exclusive titles on a new console.

Hopefully Arms will be as successful as the first Splatoon was as well.

Those games aren't going to hurt PS4 sales. The lack of 3rd party will hurt Switch. You can't argue that if games like GTA, RDR, a real COD, etc wouldn't help Switch sales. You can argue wii was a rare success. Nintendo console sales have gone down since the original Nintendo with wii being the exception. That's not bashing Nintendo. It's just the truth. I like Nintendo games for the most part but buying a system just to play Nintendo games isn't enough for me. Just my opinion

yes you can argue that lacking the big AAA western multiplats wont help Switch since no successful Nintendo device has every relied on them. The 2 Nintendo consoles that had the best multiplat support also happen to be Nintendo's 2 worst selling consoles.

With the rare exception, multiplats have really never been a factor in Nintendo's successs. the fact is that Nintendo has been successful many times without those games and has never been successful with them.

Ya too many people act as if the DS/PSP generation was the norm and not a huge increase over previous handheld generations.

They were massive success stories. Their successors weren't compared to them

No sane person would ever call GB & GBA anything but massive successes. Its only compared to DS/PSP that this generation fell massively short.
