Somewhat related question: if they're planning to release a new console, when does a company stop releasing games for their older console?
I expect they'll do backwards compatibility somehow. Digital games should be easier to convert to new console. The hard copies will be questionable if its worth the cost.
They won't want to stop making money. For other consoles there was an announcement then you'll see info on the game details screen explaining what it supports.
Nintendo is usually pretty good about backwards compatibility. The Switch has been unique, in using a completely different medium for it's games, and thus, being incompatible with the Wii U. Hence all the ports.
I bet they'll continue with the cartridge format because I'm guessing they'll continue with the portable format.
When the games stop selling. We still have games being made for the PS3, and Wii.
Where would they sell those? Or would that just be in the respective digital stores?
I found them on Amazon. I guess retailers may have them, but I haven't checked.
According to Sony, two years and counting.
My guess is that a Switch 2 will be backwards compatible with the same architecture so devs can just target Switch 1 and 2 together and tack on enhancements for play on the 2, like how games on the PS4 and 5 are handled.
