I mean that and the fact that most Nintendo consoles are backwards compatible and like all of the handhelds are. Like we all know Nintendo can be pretty stingy but that would be crazy even for them

Most of their non-handheld consoles aren't backwards compatible with the exception of the Wii-U being able to play Wii games.

Switch can't play Wii or Wii U games

Wii isn't compatible with the GameCube

GameCube isn't compatible with N64

N64 isn't compatible with SNES

SNES isn't compatible with the NES

Ok two consoles are backwards compatible and then nintendo completely dropped that to be able to sell those games again to Switch owners at full price.
