Switch simply doesn't need another Mario Kart with how 8D is selling.

They're going to need heavy hitters to give Switch 2 the same kind of great first year that Switch 1 had, it'd do more good for them there, alongside Splatoon 3.

Nintendo's IPs are too valuable to risk on unproven hardware. Look at N64/WiiU. There's no reason for Nintendo's big dogs to be exclusive to Switch 2 and given the risk it would be foolish to do so. If Switch has X years of life left as a home console, then it has X + 5 years left as a handheld. They can't bet the house on hardware again even if they do have the best hardware gimmick ever invented.

They cannot ride Switch 1 forever, so sooner they later they have to move on to new hardware, and when they do, they need software to sell it.
