You posed this idea and wanted to know what people's thoughts were:

My thoughts are that you got seduced to buy several games for cheap, have locked yourself into them for the foreseeable future for no reason (you don't actually have to be ashamed of a backlog, but you want to act like you have it under control), and are now trying to use this to prove why 3rd parties don't work on Switch, even though it's an extremely subjective case.
I wouldn't know of many busy people who would own a Switch, two PS4s, a Vita, be willing to buy all their games in bulk for an entire year to save a bit of money, even though they can easily afford full price games, and then have to schedule all those games throughout the year even though they have several other priorities in their lives.

If that's how you want to live your life it's fine, but I just don't think you represent many people.
Those are my thoughts, I'm done with this thread.

I know it is subjective, however I am saying sales are reflecting that not enough people prefer these games on the go at the current price point based on the fact that I, someone who has defended 3rd party games on Switch for the past year and a half, recently found myself not choosing the Switch version.

 

If not enough people buy the games, devs will not make them.  That is the problem.  I never said they "do not work" on Switch.  I said they do not sell, and the late port/price has a lot to do with that.

 

Devs will port the games that make sense, but I doubt we will see the new DOOM or Wolfenstein on the current iteration of Switch due to lack of sales.  It is a problem for 3rd party games that exists and regardless of how well they work, people need to buy them or they will cease making them.

Where are you coming up with these games not selling well enough?
