Ports don't sell a system. New games do. Just look at the Vita vs the PSP. They both had the same weaknesses vs their Nintendo competition, but PSP sold a respectable amount. Why? Because it had more than just a bunch of ports, and C tier titles. Your console can play every single game of the past 30 years, but if it doesn't get big new titles it won't sell. |
Although... the highest selling game on highest selling console this generation so far is a port...
I get your point, but it's not as if no new games are coming within the Switch's 1st half of 2018. One of Nintendo's greatest assets right now is the Wii U's library because they're great games that only 1/8 of their potential fan base had access to. Meaning they can release them to keep their line up as cram filled as possible and they'll sell like new games because to a lot of people, they will be no different than if they had just released this year.
