Can't you buy it simply for first party games like many people have already done. The library for first party only titles is likely to be sizeable anyway, just like the Switch and there's likely to be more 3rd party games available on full physical carts in a few years after the generation started most likely. |
Yeah, I could. And the thought crossed my mind. But really, haven't we had to do this since the N64, possibly even the SNES to a small degree? Buying Nintendo consoles for first party while getting third party games on the other systems? We have. At least with home consoles. Shouldn't this not be a problem anymore? Also, back in those days, Nintendo always priced their systems to make room for that sort of thing. But now, they are almost at parity with PS5 so... sigh.
It's just sad all around. My only hope is Nintendo pulls a Microsoft and changes some of these things a year or two from now.
