You have some very strange points, nothing stops them, but thats how they do, fact is that companies very rarely commented sales of games outside quarter results, Capcom, Bandai and SQ all commented sales at quarter results. Actually you get new customers even with ports, we already saw plenty of people said they are buying Switch because they can play Skyrim, Doom or Rocket League in full handheld mode. You again missing point, even old ports can be quite popular on Switch because full handheld mode, and that wasn't case before for those games before. Of Course they never said "their best games", there is no sense to say something like that, much stronger support and much more games is enugh and expeted. Basicly Capcom and SQ said we are satisfied with sales of our games on Switch and we are satisfied with Switch sales, so we are gave Switch much stronger support, you cant spin that. Yes, like I wrote, if games are still selling on Switch and Switch is still seling, 3rd parties will contine releasing games on Switch regardles new consoles, beacuse main point is offcourse profit. No, this is point where you ignoring clear facts, almost all 3rd parties that relased games on Switch comented how they are satisfied with sales on Switch and promising stronger support (and we arledy see for instance how much games Capcom unancued for Switch in just last month). Also like I wrote, how Switch continue to sell great and instal base is rasing it will get much more 3rd party support, espacily beacuse good part of 3rd party take "wait and see aprouch" after Wii U. We already agree that ports are also support. Again, basicly Capcom and SQ said we are geting much stronger support and more games for Switch, but for you that "don't point to a better support"!? Relly!?
Its not point about ports, you wrote nothing in any case, you didn't said there will be some ports, you said there will be nothing, you were obviosly wrong. Offcourse that those two games will not be only games, for other Q1/Q2 games we will need to wait Nintendo Direct in January, and Switch linuep is far superior than Wii Us in any case (just open your eyes, images down). Again, FE is being biggest one (I dont say its huge title) currently can't be bad sign because we still don't know nothing about most of 2018. lineup, bad sign would be if E3 2018. was finished and FE is still biggest one for 2018. You also thouth thats bad sign for Q1 of 2018. because Nintendo didn't did not specifically said nothing about Q1 games, and now we have two Bayonetta games for February.
Here are the releases during the first 9.5 months of the Wii U in 2012/2013: https://abload.de/img/wii_u-games5mub4.png Here are the releases during the first 9 months of the Nintendo Switch, as a comparison: https://abload.de/img/switch-games1ps4b.png For December 2017, there seems to be around 70 new titles (all digital release dates aren't announced yet).
I wrote that in OP, Wii had huge power difrence compared to PS3/Xbox360 and was tehnicaly very old, Switch power gap is much slower compared to XB1/PS4 and tehnicaly is on pair with them with support for all modern engines. In other words, ports are much more posible. I didnt said like SNES, but best after SNES. We still dont know almost nothing about 2018. Switch linuep (January Direct will be good start), but I wrote in OP why Switch will have much more 3rd party annucemnts than we had this year (almost all 3rd parties that relased games on Switch comented how they are satisfied with sales on Switch and promising stronger support. Also like I wrote, how Switch continue to sell great and instal base is rasing it will get much more 3rd party support, espacily beacuse good part of 3rd party take "wait and see aprouch" after Wii U).

Funny, i remember every year Activision bragging about their CoD launches.
Not commenting, not a single twit is not something that i'm happy to see. To me, if sales would have been that great, they would have said something.
But we'll see how satisfied they were.
"plenty of people said they are buying Switch because they can play Skyrim, Doom or Rocket League in full handheld mode."
Where did you get this "plenty" from? this website? Some random youtubers?
If 5 people bought a Switch for old ports you'd still be right, but that is not the point. The point is, that's not why the majority of people buy consoles. It might be ok, but after some time, people will want new games. It's only natural.
"Of Course they never said "their best games", there is no sense to say something like that, much stronger support and much more games is enugh and expeted."
So, to you, any support is good enough?
They should have said they would fully support or launch their best games on Switch and they didn't.
Your expectations that because people like handheld mode and Switch is selling great, therefore more support for Switch, aren't happening - when, by your logic, they should.
I'm not saying that that kind of support won't happen, just that i haven't seen it and i won't expect it to happen just because handeld mode and Switch sales.
Let's put it this way: PS5 comes out > porting to Switch is either undoable or takes a lot of resources (money/people) > profits get smaller and smaller.
In this scenartio, Switch's library hardly becomes GC equivalent.
Almost all 3rd parties? Really?
Well, if you think a port is awesome, i garantee that you are in the minority. Gamers buy consoles for new games.
What i read from Capcom and SE were promises of older games - despite how great Switch sales are. Why didn't they say that + full support?
Who's talking about Wii U vs Switch support?
I never said that Q1 would have no games. In our previous chats i merely asked why wasn't Nintendo announcing them and then i asked if Yoshi, Kirby and FE was the best they could reveal for 2018. B1 and B2 for February hasn't changed that.
Again... awesome, we have two ports for February! More ports...
There's no real point in comparing Wii U's first 10 months with Switch's first 10 months.
Just in Indies, Wii U was the start of the Nindie initiative.
