I've made my point pretty clear in this thread.
If there are deficiencies in the Switch market reach ... third parties should HELP Nintendo. You know like kinda how they announce 10 games for the PS or XBox before they even sell 1 system.
Yeah that might be nice for Nintendo to have some help for a change and that might actually broaden the audience base, don't you think?
You think there would be wide genre support on Sony or MS platforms if Sony and MS were left alone to support said systems with their own 1st/2nd party titles?
If Japanese developers don't think they should invest in the Switch and they just want to keep on with business (bad business) as usual, then you know really, you can't stop someone from shooting themselves in the head I guess. Nintendo is trying to save the Japanese game market with Switch if the developers are too stupid to not to be able to see that, welp, they deserve what they're going to get. And I will be the first to laugh at Final Fantasy XVII ... for iOS/Android, because that will be the platform they deserve to work on.

No, you haven't made your point clear. You're using WW numbers when citing sales for the 3ds and japan-only numbers when talking about ps4. Why?

The only numbers internationally we have for FFXV are from the UK, and those are lower than FFXIII was.
Beyond that Final Fantasy has always been a crown jewel franchise in Japan, that's always been it's driving base, you can't just hand wave away the collapse we're seeing here.
How many IP in general start off hot in one market, lose that market, and then get bailed out in other markets? That just isn't a sensible business policy, I can't even think of many franchises that have worked that way.
