I dunno, not being able to carry over Switch purchases would be a huge bummer for me. Hell, I’d probably delay purchasing it if the platform ended up being a graveyard for the first few months.

I really hope it's not a graveyard. Nintendo's not exactly the best when it comes to launch library releases. Even their relatively successful ones were basically "saved" by just having one killer app among a sea of mediocrity otherwise. See: Super Mario 64 for the N64, Wii Sports for the Wii (Twilight Princess helped the Wii but was also on GameCube), Breath of the Wild for the Switch. Consoles that didn't have that one game didn't perform well at launch at all, and some such as the Wii U never really got off the ground, even if others like the GameCube and 3DS eventually recovered.

the next 3d mario and mario kart are almost certainly being held back for the next console, they're not gonna make that mistake again.
