compare things like
Just Dance 2018
Lego City Undercover
Sonic Forces.
you know... 3rd party games which launched on all 3 platforms at the same time.
Doom, Wolfenstein and WWE2k18 (at the time the second lowest rated game on the Switch) all launched up to a year after their X1/PS4 counterparts.
Heck even looking at the rather weak port of LA Noire on the Switch sold 100k more units on the Nintendo system than the X1 and only 180k short of the PS4 version with that systems 80m strong installbase of players (less than 1/4 the number of Switch owners to PS4)
Cars 3 driven to Win on Switch sold as many copies as the PS4/X1 combined.
Rime, on par with PS4 and 3x the number of sales on the X1
Disgaea 5 launched in 2015 for the PS4 and has sold 350k The switch version came out middle of last year... has so far sold 300k
So yeah, you can pick out places where 3rd parties games haven't sold (physically at least) as many as their years later ports on the Switch have, but you can't look at the total sales as to how those games have done in the last year and think they aren't doing better than at least the X1 in terms of numbers in a lot of places and that system has more than double the install base as the Switch still.

Thank you for proving my point. When priced equally and released day and date, they do well. The problem is most of them come late and are priced more. Those devs will see Switch as not worth the time. That is the entire point of this topic.

Don't make me slap you for trying this.
Those games did not launch at the same price on the Switch / X1
I know you are grasping for some strange justification here, but I really can't see what the end goal is.
Do you want people to just come in the thread and drop a thumbs up for you getting "free" games for the PS4 over the Switch?
