Baldur’s Gate 3 had to be scaled back for the Series S, but the console still has a right to exist (www.vg247.com)

It'll be the cheapest place, by an absurd margin, to play Baldur's Gate 3.

Wait until you hear about all of the dev cycles spent getting games on the Switch.

In most cases, Nintendo platforms are ignored by 3rd parties. Non-Nintendo games rarely sell well there:

All sorts of "impossible" poets were being made to switch a few years ago. Witcher 3, Doom, Wolfenstein 2, etc. The games have moved on to the point it's not feasible anymore, but they would put them on there if they could.

All it becomes is a platform with its own strengths and tradeoffs should you decide to target it. It doesn't mean that it's time for it to go.
