Well, looks like next gen didn't kill Switch third party support

Look at it this way. At the start of the year, both Nintendo and Sony presented their lineup for the year (or parts of it) just days from each other. Nintendo showed 20 third-party games (NOT including news about already released games like DLC), Sony 8 (and as you downplayed Octopath Traveler as *looks indie* - five of these actually were indies). Of these games only one was in 2022 for Nintendo while 16 were dated for summer 2021 or earlier. For Sony only 4 were dated up until and including summer.

However you slice it, the Switch lineup looks strong compared to PS5. Not that I think PS5 is bad, Kena for instance looks great. But in comparison it is clear, that Switch has proper third-party support. You just try to disqualify some games according to random rules. Youjust could say: Switch has no 3rd-party support I care for. That would be OK, but also pretty meaningless.

Random rules? Ohhh god, triple a,AAA

kenna does not seem triple A

R8 is triple A, that will not have to switch at launch

Elder ring and far cry 6 probably won't go out for switch either

Do you think only AAA games are relevant? How do you even define AAA? By how the game looks? You say Octopath looks like an indie game. Do you think it's irrelevant because of that or what? It's probably one of the best games of 2018 and sold over 2.5 million copies.

You seemed to try to downplay it with that statement, which is dumb. There are indie games that outshine all of your AAA stuff by miles. Hades, Ori, Hollow Knight, Dead Cells, Untitled Goose Game, Celeste, Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 1 and 2, Disco Elysium, Undertale, Transistor, Bastion, Enter the Gungeon, Into the Breach etc. These game have genuinely creative ideas and launch finished, not buggy and without predatory microtransactions. Far Cry 6 will almost guaranteed have dozens of annoying bugs and glitches.

Btw it's called Elden Ring.
