Will Switch get third party support post PS5?

Again though, Switch is already getting hardly any AAA Xbone/PS4 ports, most of its third party catalog is indies, legacy ports, a few exclusives, etc. If the 1 or 2 "impossible" ports it gets per year stopped, would it really make such a difference? I doubt many people bought a Switch to play Wolfenstein II or Witcher 3. Of all the thousands of third party games on Switch, you can count the modern AAA ones on your fingers.

There's no reason it'll stop getting games like Octopath Traveler, Yooka Laylee & The Impossible Lair, Deus ex Machina, Astral Chain, Untitled Goose Game, Hollow Knight, Stardew Valley, Celeste, etc.

Octopath Traveller and Astral Chain were the sort of (console) exclusives I was referring to. They are the sort of games I'm hoping to see more of on the Switch as I'm getting tired of all of remasters, repackages and 7th Gen ports.

Yeah trust me I'm right with you there as far as being sick and tired of all the repackaged last gen ports. Still, I think there's room for a middle ground between indie and AAA outside of exclusives and I think it would make sense for games in that middle ground to continue to often include Switch going forwards in games like Yooka Laylee & The Impossible Lair.
