| shikamaru317 said: I wouldn't be surprised if they stick with the Switch concept and name moving forward, considering how successful Switch is. I suspect we could see Switch 2 as early as 2021. 1st party games will likely release on both Switch 1 and Switch 2 for a few years, but 3rd party devs will have the option of releasing on Switch 2 only. That is the only way that Switch can keep getting 3rd party ports after development moves to PS5 and XSX. Switch 1 will just be too weak for it to be worth it for 3rd party devs to downgrade PS5/XSX games to run on Switch 1, but a Switch 2 that is close to XB1/PS4 specs might just be able to keep getting 3rd party multiplat support next gen. |
They are not releasing a successor after only 4-4.5 years, Switch isnt Wii U.
Just because AAA support will drop (already low to begin with) does not mean support will be bad.
The majority of support comes from indies, Japanese games, previous gen ports/remasters, retro titles, family/casual titles, free to play titles, etc. In other words A-AA titles and these type of games arent at risk of leaving by any notable amount.
How many day and date AAA games have come to Switch? Most are very late, outsourced ports so Switch could still get some downported PS4/XBO games.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
