But how are they not catering to their core fanbase?

Even when we exclude the Wii U ports on Switch, Nintendo's first party output is just as good or better than what Wii U had in the same time frame.

Beating up a cripple is nothing to brag about.

Was the SNES also a cripple? Nintendo published only 5 new games (and a port) in the first 13 months:

The Switch got 6 "full" new games ( + 1-2-Switch + Snipperclips) in the first 13 months:

  • Zelda: Breath of a Wild (yes, that was a brand new game in 2017)
  • ARMS
  • Splatoon 2
  • Super Mario Odyssey
  • Xenoblade Chronicles 2
  • Kirby: Star Allies

And they also supported the 3DS with new games in the same year, so the annual software output of new Nintendo games has increased.
