There's also the novelty factor to consider.

Being able to play these massive, AAA open world experiences on a handheld is still a relatively new and therefore novel thing. I reckon this was a major reason why Skyrim on Switch was such a big deal. 

I mean, imagine if, back in 2015 when Witcher 3 launched, you predicted that in 4 years we'd be playing in on a handheld. Most people wouldn't have even taken you seriously. Yet here we are.

Honestly, the way Apple is chasing high performance in their devices, I would've guessed that more publishers would try to milk that particular market, but yeah, not sure I would've guessed Switch would get TW3, for various reasons.
