In terms of quality releases, I agree. Companies are going to make a killer either makingsmaller projects or old PS360 ports, free of the regular competition they could find on the other platforms (not to mention the excellent indie support the Switch is and will continue to have). In terms of quantity, nope, nothing is going to surpass the amount of games the Wii and DS got.

Yeah, Switch will be gold opportunity for plenty of last gen ports. Talking about quantity, Wii and DS had plenty of shovelware games, on other hand Switch will have plenty of Inides that didnt exist in DS/Wii era.

To be fair with the Wii and the DS, the two consoles have hundreds of those hidden gems that only get any kind of recognition decades later when some niche groups unearth them from all the rubble. But yes, I can see the digital-only games being the push that the Switch needs to have more software in total than the Wii. I don't know if it will ever have more than the DS, though.

How many games in total were released for the Wii and DS? The database says there were around 2.800 and 4.000 on each one, but I'm not sure how correct are those numbers. How many games has the PS4 released until now?



You know it deserves the GOTY.
