At that point they would just have more 3rd party exclusives until the Switch 2 drops less than 2 years later, at the end of Nintendo's typical 5 year cycle. Either way there is a lot of good stuff to come from 3rd parties on Switch after 2020. |
Yeah, the Switch already gets very little from 3rd parties (especially western 3rd parties) in-terms of new games to begin with so I don't see how the PS5/XB2 are going to kill its momentum. If they can't get major 3rd party multiplats, Nintendo will probably continue to solve that problem by moneyhatting games and leveraging their IPs in order to get major software support from 3rd parties like with Mario + Rabbids, Hyrule Warriors or #FE. Luckily, the Switch will have a large, active install-base and developing games for it will be significantly cheaper compared to the PS5/XB2, so I can see a lot of major publishers creating games with the Switch included, or for the Switch exclusively, to offset the risk in developing costly, time-intensive AAA PS5/XB2 games.
