They can, but it's much more difficult. The higher the gap, the more difficult it is to support older hardware. I find that the post I linked to earlier explains it well. |
The argument that Nintendo needs to release new hardware soon to continue getting ports is ultimately a flawed one because firstly third party ports aren't what is selling the system, and secondly the sooner they release a new system, the less capable it will be of getting next gen ports. Better to wait until 2023/2024 when it can be to PS5/XSX what Switch 1 was to PS4/Xbone.
