"Nintendo makes consoles only for Nintendo games" Myth or fact?

If you're making a massive AAA release, then yes, very powerful hardware is a necessity. But for everything else, you don't really need it. We've seen tons of developers support the Switch even in spite of its weaker specs, simply because it's a cheap, easy to develop for console with unique features, and a large userbase.

Yes but that's the way games work these days everything is ported to all hardware. Look at steamdeck it only sold 3 million yet everything runs on it for the most part, that doesn't really tell you anything about how much effort Nintendo to get thirdparty support and with switch 2 being so late it just confirms to me anyway that they don't care.

Maybe, just maybe... Developing new game platforms takes multiple years and tons of resources, on top of a global pandemic that kicked off the decade, which caused a ton of chip shortages and game delays.
