Ok, let me see if I understand this: MS investing time, money and manpower to port a game to Switch instead of using those resources to, you know, develop their own games, would be beneficial to them...

And then we look at the best selling games on the Switch and find out the best selling 3rd party game (that doesnt have Mario on it) is not even close to the sales of frigging 1, 2 Switch...

Yeah, that makes sense.

MS wouldn't have to invest much of anything; these kind of projects are almost always outsourced to porting houses. Many third party games on Switch have been commercially successful, basically every popular big game brought to it has been, (sales of 1-2 Switch are completely irrelevant, you don't need to sell that much to be successful) and a game as big as Halo certainly be. It makes perfect sense.

Whatever few resources they spend, would be resources they could use on their own games. Games to be sold to an audience that has already proven consume said games.

So, no. It doesn't make one bit of sense. If it did, we would have every single 3rd party publisher out there porting their old games to Switch.
