How well do you think Nintendo is handling the transition from Switch 1 to 2?

Because that is the point of this thread.  The OP asked for everyone's opinion.  I could ask, "Why ask for people's opinions if you aren't allowed to disagree with the majority of posters here?"

You are the one who is actually in the bubble.  Bubbles get created when you don't allow people to have a different opinion.

Sure, those are major releases, my issue is people counting BotW as a major Switch title despite being cross-gen while simultaneously discounting Pokemon Legends or Metroid Prime because they are cross-gen.

It is very reasonable to count BotW as a major Switch title while discounting Pokemon Legends for Switch 2.  That is because with cross-gen titles you have to consider the other system people might play the game on.  Since few people owned the Wii U, most people just bought a Switch to play BotW.  On the other hand, people don't have to buy a Switch 2 to play Pokemon Legends.  Most Pokemon fans already have a Switch.

No, the install base of the previous console does not determine whether a cross-gen title is a major release.

What determines if a title is major is its sales potential and ability to move hardware.

It's going to be harder for Pokemon to move hardware when fans can play it on a system they already own.
