The 3DS wasn’t meant to be replaced by the switch when it released hence they supported both for a period of time.
The Switch 2 on the other hand is literally meant to be a replacement to the Switch so I wouldn’t be surprised if they dropped first party support when it releases.
Like how they did with the wii U. The only thing that would make me think that they would still support the original switch with releases is that hopefully it's successor is backwards compatible, a-la GBA -> DS style of support
The problem with the Wii U is that it didn’t sell very well.
I wasn't talking about how the wii u was failure. Just that their first game for the switch was also their last on wii u simultaneously.
Yes but Switch should have better longevity because the the size of the install base. I’m sure we are saying the same thing.
We are. It's why I said that it'll be like how the GBA to DS was due to potential backwards compatability.
