I don't agree with the SF II example, but the premise of the post will be very interesting to watch actually. Sabotage might be a strong word, but I would agree that Wii was poorly supported by 3rd party devs even though it sold extremely well.

But where Wii received a lot of ill will from hardcore devs ("two GameCubes duct-taped together", "party machine that lives in the closet"), I'm not sure if Switch will have the same problem. It's not targeting a new "casualz" audience, per se, so it might be viewed more favourably by devs since they're not being asked to serve a whole new market and abandon what they see to be "classic" gaming. Switch is classic gaming: Street Fighter, Zelda, Mario Kart, Minecraft, Tetris. Not Wii Sports or Wii Fit.

Obviously there are going to be games that will not come to the system because it's a big leap in performance from PS4 and Xbox One, but why not port games where there aren't a ton of graphical variables - like sports, puzzle, fighting. Why not port really huge games that are guaranteed to sell a few million like Grand Theft Auto or Call of Duty?

I think we'll still see third parties go very easy/cautious on Switch because they don't have to compete with Nintendo and they do get a lot more hardware specs on the other systems, but hopefully Nintendo can break the kind of "Oh, we'll turn dead space into a lightgun shooter for Wii" behavior that we witnessed in generation 7.

Looks like most are skipping it for now. So they are not sabotaging any ting yet.

I'm expecting true 4K on my Xbox Scorpio.

Good for me.
