So I've been seeing a pattern for some time now. While the PS5 and the XBoxX are selling well, they are heavily bottlenecked by the lack of stock, and that's hampering their sales. Meanwhile the Switch is still selling record numbers, and it's going to be the biggest platform for console gaming for years to come (at least in current gen). This is causing the sales of current gen software sales to be much smaller than they ought to be on PS5/XBoxX, and many games are still releasing on the PS4 since they can be played on the new hardware anyway.

How is this going to affect the software development landscape in the next few years? Will we see 3rd parties start to move development towards the Switch more? Will we see the support for the PS4/XBOne last much longer than previous gens did? Or is this just a brief pause and devs will move on sooner than later?



You know it deserves the GOTY.
