It's Apple. Developers will make software releases in just months if they think the market will be there, and they will. Knowing that a new market is opening up that is not so crowded (like Nintendo Switch), will make developers very, very happy.
Even Palm Pilot succeeded. You just have to convince people that Mac-users are willing to pay for software, which seems to be the case.
The amount of developers nowadays are also crazy.
- pier25 6y agoThat only really works for small projects though. AFAIK today Apple is the only big developer making exclusive macOS products. If you think about it the vast majority of big apps are crossplatform projects (Adobe, Autodesk, Microsoft, all browsers, audio, video editing, animation, 3d, etc).
