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

How exactly do you define triple A game? 

It's a very broad definition but I guess any game with a budget to employee over a hundred developers, designers, QA teams, voice actors, writers and etc can already be called AAA for me 

I don't know how many people worked in Kena, but based on how it looks I doubt it's not a AAA game unless the trailer is extremely misleading in therms of graphics, length and content (which can be the case I guess)

Anyway, a game like Pikmin 3 deluxe had about 98 workers on it (including directors, managers and the team that worked in the demo), and it's a game that I define as A but not AAA. But Pikmin is a small scale game that take about 15 hours to beat 

A game like Pokemon SwSh take around 200 people to make 

A game like BOTW over 300

And a game like Cyberpunk around 500

So, in your opinion, which one of those fall into AAA umbrella? BOTW? Cyberpunk? Pokemon? Neither?
