Don't worry, I hear the shuffling of the goal posts already with claims of how this 3rd party support doesn't count or people fleeing as plates of crow come flying towards them. Plus like I've said before, Nintendo is so self-sufficient with its own IPs that 3rd parties are more icing on the cake.
A lot of it is admittedly ports and DLC, but hey, it's early in the year and there's always stuff coming out for the holidays. Dark Souls is probably the big one what with it being revealed for the Switch first. What I hope for that is they fix Blight Town's infamous frame rate issues. Also people should be telling Bamco to bring over Soul Calibur VI and Dragon Ball Fighterz. Overall, good stuff
It's not at all moving goal posts. 3rd party support is getting basically EVERY game and will ALWAYS be getting basically every game.
On PS4, I don't have to worry about what games PS4 is getting or not getting because I'm getting pretty much every game outside of the occasional exclusivity that Microsoft pays for (like Cuphead).
How many of the following games/series ranging from AAA to indie do you think the Switch is going to get?
I'm sure there's a FEW that the Switch is getting but PS4 is getting/gotten ALL of them.
-RDR, GTA, COD, Battlefield, Battlefront, Madden, FIFA, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Souls, Dishonored, Watch Dogs, Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, FarCry, Assassin's Creed, Final Fantasy, Tomb Raider, Hitman, Resident Evil, Destiny, Wolfenstein, Doom, Persona, Nioh, Skull & Bones, Divinity Original Sin, Pillars of Eternity, Cities Skylines, Hob, Shadow Tactics, Invisible Inc., Sexy Brutale, What Remains of Edith Finch, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Rime, Prey, Deliverance Kingdom Come, Anthem, Vampyr, Ace Combat, Kingdom Hearts, Dynasty Warriors, Valkyria Chronicles, and I can keep going and going and going.
Even B-Cell's thread about most anticipated FPS (System Shock, Metro Exodus, Squadron 42, Witchfire, FarCry 5), none of those games are scheduled for the Switch while all but one are coming to PS4.
So, how is the Switch getting 3rd party support anywhere near comparable to the other systems? Why would I have to move goal posts? You can't even play Madden on the Switch so literally the Switch needs to move the goal posts because it has none. That is why Nintendo is not in competition with Playstation/Xbox/PC because a Nintendo system is always going to be a secondary gaming platform and not someone's primary platform (outside of Nintendo fanboys).
