I'm primarily a Nintendo gamer and if major Switch 2 games in 2029 were still coming out on Switch 1 I'd be annoyed.

But why? Lol. You have a new system running the games at 4k60/1440p60 or whatever while the old one is running at 720p30. Why is it annoying that people with the previous system can still play the games?

I don't understand why Sony preventing people on PS4 from playing God of War Ragnarok, Miles Morales, Sackboy, Horizon Forbidden West for no good reason would be a good thing.

I don't see how abandoning the people who bought your previous platform ASAP is a positive. Cross-gen means you can stick with the platform you already have if you're not interested in the performance and features of the new console instead of being forced to. "Buy our new machine right now, or here's the middle finger." If the games can run, keep bringing them.

It doesn't hurt anyone and shouldn't annoy anyone.  Console gamers are just confused by game engines being scalable.  The idea of software being playable across different hardwares is just new to console gamers.
