Why are there so few third-party games announced for switch 2?

[Signalstar]

If you are a 3rd Party publisher, why announce more games so soon. Especially if you released a game during the launch window, you want to give those games the best chance to succeed. You hope people will pick up your game because they are desperate (eager) to play new games on their new system. If you announce too much too soon maybe people will hold off instead to play those upcoming games.

Also dev times are longer these days so games releasing now or in the near future began development several years ago. It is not so easy to integrate a new platform into your development plans.

They may also wait to reveal their games at a Nintendo Direct for added exposure. So Nintendo's timing of Directs dictates the timing of certain announcements.

Lastly, there are so many other platforms to develop and release games on. It is always possible to port games to Switch 2 at a later date. Going forward they can now strategize how to include Switch 2 release in their strategy.
