Regarding Switch third party support: Developers don't care about power

And I will continue to dismiss the Switch as yet another first party-centric Nintendo console, thank you. Probably because it is, as evidenced by the lack of pretty much every current gen multiplatform AAA game.

Do you think the big publishers ditch all the potential money on a successful platform like the Switch for fun? What is your reasoning for the lack of AAA games if it's apparently so easy to port to?

Switch was never going to get AAA multiplats. The 1 TF spec is actually double speed FP16. In Docked mode, it's ~500 GFLOPs, in undocked, it's a slightly better Wii U. At least that's what I heard on NeoGAF. It's just not powerful enough to run demanding games without significant changes. I'm still buying one anyway. Want to get into some Mario Odyssey action.

Ya anybody who thought Switch would get a majority of AAA 3rd party titles wasnt thinking clearly.

Switch is the successor to 3DS, Wii U and in many ways to Vita as well. Switch should get the consolidated support of these three devices which is a ton of small-medium sized titles in these categories:

Indie games

Japanese games

Kid/family games

Ports/remasters
