It amazes me how many people think how unimportant real, signifcant third party support from companies like EA is for long-term success of a console's life.

Yes I know, "Fuck EA, they're cancer, worst company in America"... EA brings in $5 billion a year. That's an enormous consumer base. Their games matter to the gaming community whether you like it or not.

There are millions of people out there that won't consider a console that doesn't have games like Call of Duty, Madden, Grand Theft Auto, and Assassin's Creed. How many Switches could Nintendo sell if they had these franchises on their platform?

Let's see the DS had half assed CoD and GTA that barely sold.  GTA on DS sold semi decent but wasn't gang busters.  How many sales did the DS pull without most of those franchises or half ass versions?  Believe it ended up being 2nd highest system sold.
