Bc it can't be taken as granted that will happen as the way they want to happen. You could have several stock issues or another wii u situation. Plus you throw away a 100+Million Userbase that could bring more software sales to the table The best thing they did in the past that I can give as a comparison to my hypothetical scenario was the Switch in its first years while the 3ds was still getting software support. |
One can wish or expect for Switch support to continue to happen because Sony and MS are doing it (for digital ecosystem reasons more than software sales), but it runs counter to Nintendo's history.
Did Mario 3D Land and Pikmin 3 release for the Wii? Pokémon X&Y or A Link Between Worlds for the DS? That was a 250m userbase...
In fact, one can argue the only major Nintendo games that deliberately release after a successor console is out are reused asset Pokémon versions (Crystal, Emerald, B&W2, US&UM).
