Proceeds to make underpowered hardware...kk Nintendo. That just isn't how it works. There are indeed a slew of games that can release on Switch because they fall in line with the necessary specs like Rocket League, Skyrim, Sonic Forces, etc. but there are games that are cutting edge that just won't translate well to Switch. If they want Western 3rd party support that matters, they need to keep specs in mind.

That being said, I don't think they need to do this. Nintendo as a company has enough IP to tackle entire 3rd party lineups from Sony and MS, they'll be fine. It'd be great if their upcoming consoles can support these games but for success, they aren't necessary and historically have sold rather poorly on Nintendo consoles compared to the competition. Ultimately, I want Nintendo to be Nintendo, not Sony or MS. I'll buy a PS4 or PS5 etc. along with Nintendo platforms. Each has something to offer naturally.

Just as a counter point though, was Nintendo "not Nintendo" when they were getting things like SF2, Castlevania, Final Fantasy VI, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Madden NFL, NHL, etc. back in the day?

Do you think people had problems differeniating between say a Sega Genesis and a Super Nintendo?
