Miyamoto said that games developed with PC as a base can be ported to Switch in about a year. The report also adds that the console was revealed to third-parties last summer. It’s thought that we could therefore see major multiplatform titles starting from the fall season." i guess we can expect more of the AAA games to be announced for Fall considering there reveal date to the companies and how long it will take to port. |
... no. This is a bad thing, like this is porting PS3 games to Vita levels of time. For example, the game I worked on took a finished PS3 game, and 10 months with a 50+ man team, and our port was considered "not great" compared to the PS3 version, and was missing many features that had to be cut at the last minute in order to stick to the release window, and our team had Sony specialists who flew in to help us get off the ground on it.
Assuming the team is knowledgable of both platforms, porting a game from X1 to PS4 would be a few months of work, for example.
