But they also launched it with a big bang like any other big console maker. Therefore shutting down first party studios is a big red flag that they intend on not supporting the device going forward. Imagine what the message would be if Microsoft or Sony shut down their internal/owned game development studios, or if Nintendo decided to stop making games and just make the console hardware. You would not want to buy their new consoles which were released just now. Even though it might not be true that they're shutting it down, it for sure sends a strong signal that they intend to.
