    Absolutely there is, Fifa or FC now is definitely available on Xbox series one and PS4.

    But Nintendo are a different kettle of fish, they needs to sell consoles and games. New first party titles are unlikely to be on last gen going forward with Xbox and PS. But third party will sell for the biggest market.

      Yeah I wouldn’t use EA Sports as the yardstick here as they keep them coming long after everyone else has given up on a platform. FIFA 14 came out on the PS2 in 2013; the same year the PS4 launched.

      Nintendo also has a history of positioning their last gen console as the budget alternative to a newly released console. They have even made brand new redesigns (Wii Mini, GBA Micro) of last gen systems.

      When a new system comes out, especially if it is backwards compatible, there is a flood of used systems in the market from people trading up. Those systems need games to play and Nintendo is happy to supply them with all of the games they missed.
