Well, if Nintendo's next platform was just being announced  around 2025-2026, wouldn't the Switch be around 8-9 years old? With how the PS4/XBO is in terms of power, the Switch is already behind those 2 consoles and modern home console games are already quite demanding, which will only grow as time goes on. I figure it'd only get more difficult for 3rd party to support the system unless they made games specific for the console. So I figure Nintendo would need to make new hardware before at least 2025.

In terms of the 3DS, games made for portable devices usually require less resource so power isn't as big of an issue for those types of systems.

Dont your first and second paragraph kinda contradict each other?

First you say 3rd parties wont support Switch when PS5/XB4 release because it will be too weak.

Then you say being being weaker requires less resources so its not a problem for 3DS.

So which is it, will 3rd parties not support Switch because its weak and cant handle multiplats or will they support it because its weak and requires less resources?

 

 

With that said, i do not expect Switch to still be their main platform in 2025.

Well, I figure 3rd party will treat the Switch more as a home console, so they'll be looking at whether they can port their AAA games to the system, which may become problematic as time goes on. Japanese 3rd party though won't have as much of a problem. In that case, perhaps it'll only be a western problem in terms of 3rd party.

With all this said, I'm totally fine with being wrong and Switch living that long. I'm just looking at it at a more realistic/pessimistic view.
