This seems like overstated personal opinion. Market data, the consumer and the critic all disagree. The Switch platform has been a stellar success and isn't stopping any time soon. As a business, Nintendo is thriving. Nintendo franchises stay pretty fresh relative to other franchises. Is your issue with the concept of franchises in general? Every platform/ecosystem has them. For Nintendo, the first party platform and franchises have always been the central focus. They remain a hit, decade after decade. So, it's not clear what your beef really is.
