Given how poorly the Wii U sold, I wouldn't port to the ps4/X1.  But I would port to the Switch.  I think something like Pikmin 3 could be good for sales.  To be clear I wouldn't port Halo 3 or 4.  Only Combat Evolved.  Outside classic games, I wouldn't port.  I mean Crash Team is on the Switch, it isn't hurting ps1 sales.  Same with Final Fantasy VII.

Porting from WiiU also won't hurt sales of WiiU. You made sense before, but now you are doing the same "in this case it isn't like that".

So you support MS putting Halo, Gears and Forza on PS5 as well right?

No, it still makes sense.  I am saying WWHD, Pikmin 3, TPHD and a few others could boost Switch sales.  Given not many people owned a Wii U.  So I wouldn't port those.  But older titles that wouldn't push Switch sales, might as well port those.  I am holding MS to the same standard.  I think they are safe porting Combat Evolved, but I wouldn't port newer titles.  Just the older ones.  

As for Halo on the ps5, sure.  Why not?  To be clear I mean Halo 1.  I wouldn't port Halo 5 or 6.  Those can still push Xbox Two sales.  

The short version is, system sellers stay exclusive.  Titles that are no longer system sellers, sure port the crap out of them.  Nobody is going to see Mario 64 on the Switch and say "finally, a reason to buy a switch!!"  So **** it, I don't care if Mario 64 goes to everything.
