"Their customers would not be ready to move on" is a general statement and means the vast majority, not every single one of them. I need to clarify this because of how your question is framed. Now for your questions: 1. Yes, I would still doubt that more than an insignificant tiny minority would be ready to move on to Switch 2 if all cross-gen games would be ported to Switch 2. The reason being that there's no evidence that PS4 ports are in high demand on the current Switch console. Such a Switch 2 would be akin to the Wii U where the predecessor gets sacrificed for the sake of getting games that Nintendo's customers don't have a major interest in; the Wii U was first pitched at E3 2011 with the premise that virtually all major AAA publishers will be on board, but that was met with lots of hostility by Wii owners because they didn't like Nintendo's lack of support for the Wii in favor of forcing a new hardware purchase for Nintendo games that might as well have been made for the Wii. 2. The above answer should answer your second question by default, but I want to emphasize how wrong it is to take something that people care about away from them only to offer them something in return that they care little about, if at all. Software sales data for Switch does not suggest in the least that there's a substantial desire for ports of PS4 games, certainly not anywhere close on a scale that would justify a successor with the main purpose of getting more ports from other consoles. |
Got it. Was just curious. Thanks for putting the extra effort to be clear on ur communication.
