Why is the Switch still not getting big games from 3rd parties? October edition

Depends. I think cross-gen is going to be a thing for several more years, so PS4/XB1 will be getting years after PS5/XB2 are out. The install base of those systems is just too big to ignore. So if a "Switch Pro" is a late 2019 or 2020 product, Nintendo could get a lot of games, and there's still tons of XB1/PS4 content that would be a lot of fun to play on the go as is. 

Switch Pro will be Tegra 2 most likely, so we dont talk about any huge difference in any case compared to current model, also you need to remember that same games would need to work on current Switch model also in any case, so from that point nothing will really change for 3rd parties.

We'll see. The leak in the Switch OS from hackers mentioned a Tegra 'Mariko' with custom model number that isn't the Tegra X2. 

X2 is actually a fairly old chip at Nvidia, they likely can give Nintendo something beyond that by 2019/2020. 

I'm not sure if Nintendo necessarily will mandate anything either, as far I know they didn't mandate for example that Minecraft had to work on all 3DS models (it only runs on New 3DS). It will be up to the developer I think.
