From Nate--Nintendo Switch 2 will have backwards compatability support.

This is pretty much a necessity for me. My Switch library is simply too large to leave behind.

In the end people still have the base PS5 to buy but this is an obvious harbinger of things to come. Just wait for the PS6 and Next Xbox
