Let's take the Wii, since people like to still insist the Switch will follow a similar path despite being totally different and trending nothing like it.

By this point in Wii's lifespan it had already had its price cut to $200 and pretty much all its big games were behind it. Switch by contrast still costs $300 for the base model, having yet to see a price cut, and still has megatons like BOTW2, Splatoon 3, Monster Hunter Rise, and likely many other big games we don't even know about yet still to come.

I keep thinking something alone the lines of "oh, but the the Wii was still getting games like Mario Galaxy 2 and Skyward Sword at this point!" ... then I remember that the Switch is actually approaching it's fifth year (March 2021 - March 2022) not it's fourth. Gosh, it makes me feel both old and it also makes the Switch feel weirdly young given how immature it's software lineup still feels. It just highlights all the more how weird it must have been as a Wii owner having the Wii for only about 4 years, only to stop receiving a plethora of games for it. 

Yea ... it actually is kind of weird how, for better or worse, Switch's library doesn't even feel half done yet.
