If I'm going to drop like $700-800 AUD on a brand new next generation console, then I want brand new experiences, not just the same games I've been playing since 2017 with some extra pixels and frames. There's nothing exciting or interesting about just playing Switch 1 games in 4K.

The point of a new generation is to enable new experiences.

But they are not the same games

They are newer games

Most Nintendo games are not technically demanding. Why should Nintendo not release their smaller games on both systems if they are perfectly able to run on both? Majority of Switch library of first 3 years are basically refurbished Wii U games, either straight ports or just games they withhold from releasing on Wii U since it was already a dead console

Seems a strange feeling. You want people to not be able to play games their console is perfectly able to run because you want to feel "exclusive"

The first 3 years of Switch saw many exclusives; Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade 2, Splatoon 2, Smash Bros Ultimate, ARMS, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, Astral Chain, Kirby Star Allies, Pokémon Let's Go, Pokémon Sword/Shield, Luigi's Mansion 3, Octopath Traveller, Yoshi's Crafted World, Super Mario Maker 2, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Ring Fit Adventure, Daemon x Machina...

There's also the key difference that Switch was only a small step up in power over Wii U due to being a mobile device; presumably Switch 2 will be a much, much bigger leap.

It's not about others missing out, it's about wanting new hardware to offer new kinds of experiences instead of just last gen games with extra pixels/frames.

We've drifted way off topic at this point though.
