That's the thing though, we can't assume Nintendo won't make any mistakes with Switch 2.

I'm not saying there can't be any crossgen games, just that a PS4-5 approach of almost everything being crossgen for the first two years wouldn't be the right fit for Nintendo's situation. Now that they only have one hardware line they have no backup, they can't afford to be lackadaisical.

If they make big mistakes that cause Switch 2 to be undesirable than it doesn’t matter if the games are exclusive or not, the device is failing regardless, but if they are cross-gen than at least the software will have a chance to sell to its full potential.

They do have a backup, it’s called Switch, if the successor fails than you can pivot back to Switch and treat the new device as an experiment or a revision and get to work on a new successor. If they abandon Switch 1 and Switch 2 fails than they are really fucked.

Already addressed that; mistakes doesn't mean unsalvageable, see 3DS.

And I literally never said they should abandon Switch immediately. Just that not everything needs to be crossgen.
