Yup, the way Sony handled the Vita was an absolute shame, after deciding to drop it quick they went on bringing the few "major" exclusives to the PS4.
Though Sony didn't cut Vita short to release another handheld to resell those games.
Still shameful, tho.

Well, my point was the opposite, actually. I don't think there's anything shameful about it, really. Both Sony and Nintendo pursued money-making enterprises. They saw software that languished on unpopular hardware and decided to re-release it, often with additional content, to a much larger audience. They didn't force anyone to double dip. They simply presented another option. Aren't folks always saying "fewer games is never a good thing"?

Plus it's not like Switch is wanting for original content. 1-2 Switch, Arms, Fire Emblem Warriors, Breath of the Wild, Snipperclips, Splatoon 2, Super Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 — many of these are significant new releases. That's not a bad first-party line-up in 10 months, and that's excluding "deluxe" versions of Mario Kart 8 and Pokken Tournament.

Neither Sony nor Nintendo are altruistic. They're beholden to share holders and bottom lines. The only thing "shameful" here is capitalism.
