The biggest problem with 3rd party ports on Switch...

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?

Well day and date is a big factor, as I already said in an earlier reply.  As for price, I forgot that some were priced 10 bucks more on Switch.  However 10 bucks is a far cry from 40 bucks.  Plus some games that cost more on cart, were price matched on the eshop like RiME.  An oversight on my part, but my point still stands.

 

I do not need justification for my trade in, the experience had with those games is all I need and will ever need.  I was simply sharing my experience as an example of how even someone that can afford the Switch version of these late ports, supported the Switch heavily both on forums and with my wallet for a year and a half, and got put in a situation where a choice had to be made...cheaper versions of the same game at a higher quality can draw us to choose those versions over portability (despite what I have been preaching all this time).

 

Again, not saying the ports should not exist or that there are not those that benefit from them.  I am simply pointing out that these late ports are not selling as much as devs would like them to and the main reason I believe that to be the case.
