Or how reading comprehension works:
Unless abandoning the clientele you've spent innumerable resources building up in exchange for something with absolutely no guarantee is your idea of sound business strategy.
when op said "I don't give evidence because I think it's simple logic" I realized we're all getting punk'd and it's actually hilarious
This line of thinking is just so outdated. The Switch disproved the notion that Nintendo's IP isn't enough. Look at how bafflingly well first-party software is selling.
You've not presented this simple logic, at least not anything sound.

This is the answer to your thread. You stumbled across it yourself. It's right there.
Huh? No, not really.
this fact except for the exceptions prove it
I’m 99% sure I have at least 3 GTA games on my Switch already. Call of Duty is the weird outlier but I’m pretty happy with the selection of shooters I have on my Switch. Also the whole Mario and Zelda argument has been a weird one people have been making for years and the reason I call it weird is because Mario and Zelda sell insanely well, just like the Switch, which is also selling insanely well.
People aren’t arguing that bad graphics are good. The points being made, and continuously being ignored by the OP are:
People are buying much more games than before. If strong first party lineup and limited third party brought Switch to 108 million sold in just 5 years, it can easily break records with full third party support (assuming it's marketed so). Switch's potential is massive, it can approach 170m sold with right library.
Their last post definitely seems like it. Older audience, lol. There are more people who go from COD to Mario than the reverse.
I'm almost 20 years old and I love Animal Crossing, Pokemon, and Mario. When will my tastes grow more mature? Asking for a friend.
You're right.
That’s only true if there’s somehow a finite amount of kids interested in games, and not new kids discovering them every day, plus adult fans retaining an interest. It’s like saying that Disney need to watch out for their fans growing out of cartoons, Star Wars and superheroes, and start making gritty crime dramas and slasher films, when lifelong adult fans of all of their stuff are the ones that turn up on day 1, and bring their kids with them.
Probably not many?
well there you have it
So… uh… given this, why do you know a beefier Nintendo console would do better.
Kids and more "casual" gamers who are not going to buy a $500 box to play Animal Crossing, Pokémon and Ring Fit are an important audience for Nintendo, whereas MS and Sony mainly target the "young male" demographic.
I'm sorry but I laughed at "almost 20 years old" being posted as if that was old age.
I am old. You're just ancient.
You just really need to look at the Wii to see the same things that Nintendo’s handhelds had to succeed
100 million people have bought a Switch. I think the amount of people who are tired of Nintendo games is small.
Evidently having Madden and CoD doesn’t mean you’ll sell more, after all.
Seriously hilarious that OP has apparently missed the point of that inquiry.
Yes, they can. MCU proves if you have a winning formula, you can just continue it indefinitely. Star Wars also shows that some fans will revolt if you try to give them anything different. Personally, as a fortysomething that grew up on Mario and Zelda games on NES and have owned four Nintendo consoles (NES, SNES, Wii and Switch), I still like some of the same types of games I liked 30+ years ago. I've recently gotten into the Fire Emblem series too. Some tastes have also expanded but I still love Mario. Breath of the Wild is still in my Top 5 favorite Switch games. You should really give that a try, definitely more fun than an Assassin's Creed game (I should know, I've played two). The thing you should understand, OP, is that Nintendo makes ganes for everyone: they aren't bound to THE Demographic (18-35 men).
This. I still like many of the same games I loved as a kid, and not just from Nintendo either. My tastes have expanded, but often into stuff that just wasn’t available then- I wouldn’t say Monster Hunter is any more grown-up than Zelda when they both share the same sense of fun and ridiculous fantasy. I still check out Mario, Zelda, Megaman and Castlevania games (well, more games inspired by the latter these days…) the same way as I did in the early 90s, and there’s a reason a huge amount of indies take notes from all of them. All the games following the structure of Zelda or Mario or Metroid or whatever are doing so not because it’s for kids. It’s because it’s a good game design template.
