While a ton of Switch's have been sold, their durability, future screen issues, internal battery and Joycon reliability do not make me confident that Switch's will survive like other systems. Also not having the digital library continue on with future systems just feels like planned obsolescence to force redundant future purchases on new systems. The wii eshop library is dead, the wii u eshop library is dead and gamecube games are so expensive as the hardware gets more scarce. Nintendo Profited significantly this generation and owes their fans to support their past purchases to move forward with them. Nintendo used to be the king of BC, they should be again.
I've known Bobby since 2015. We got to know each other in THE NVC forum on Facebook and would debate Nintendo issues. That lead to us being on podcasts together and form a great friendship. He will be missed.
