I wonder how much BOM it would have been to give the Switch a Wiimote good enough to play all the WiiSports stuff.
Put a low-rez IR camera on each corner of the body, an IR LED and an IMU on the controller and you're done. I wonder what that would have cost. Not much.
And so you ask - why didn't they?
