I've always been an early adopter of Nintendo systems. But, I think those days are over for me. Going forward, I'm going to wait several years before purchasing Nintendo hardware to make sure that there is a sufficient catalog of games that I have not yet played. When we get to that point, if it looks like the next gen hardware is coming soon, I may well do as you suggest and skip a generation.

I really feel like Nintendo has not done right by those of us that were loyal and bought the Wii U.  We get to play the same games again and pay full price for them.  At the very least, they should have offered some sort of trade-in program where you send in your Wii U disc and get half price access to a digital Switch version of the game, or something like that.  For that matter, they could have just sent out discount codes to anyone that played the Wii U versions of the games prior to their release on Switch. Nintendo certainly has that information for the vast majority of us. 

First bold: if you already have the game on Wii U and don't want to rebuy it, then simply don't rebuy it. The Switch versions are for people who don't own a Wii U. Those are new games for them.

Second bold: Has something like that ever existed in gaming?

I'm sure Xbox is doing smart delivery this gen. You buy a game on Xbone and will have it for free on Series X/S
