So you suggest binging all their big ips to a cheaper more successful console, why even bother releasing a console then?

Because they wouldn't be bringing the latest instalments of those IP, the Switch probably can't even run most of the newest instalments to begin with. Switch wouldn't get the newest Halo, but it could have Halo 1/2/3/4 and Master Chief could be in Smash Bros ... that would earn the IP likely a new following. 

You'd be bringing older games and introducing the Nintendo fanbase to these IP that way. Once they get to be fans of these IP, when they're looking at XBox SX vs a PS5 ... suddenly the XBox looks more attractive if these people are fans of Halo, Killer Instinct, Forza, etc. already. 

The point is you want Nintendo fans to become fans of Halo, Forza, Killer Instinct, Sea of Thieves (?), Battletoads, Banjo-Kazooie over being fans of Uncharted, Last of Us, Gran Turismo, Horizon, etc. When it comes time for the huge Switch audience to choose between an XBox and Playstation, MS suddenly has a very nice advantage. 

I still don't quite understand why MS/Sony/Nintendo don't put free demo's of their 1st party games on the competition's consoles.
