No, its far more profitable to be owner of the platform and taking all the platform profits that comes associated with it than publishing it on other consoles.It is far more profitable to launch on Switch that, lets say, sells 50 million lifetime(and for the sake of the example, lets say that MK 8 sells 25 millions on it) than selling "only" 10 millions more on other platforms.Its more profitable per unit, sells consoles(and gets profit out of it), sells acessories associated with it, if manages to atract new customers, those then transform into more sale buying other games on Switch, etc etc.

lets say the ps4 and x1 and pc have over 200 million users combined. maybe ninty can get 50 more mill says per game. then that would make it better?

No because as a developer the are licensing fees and such that add to the cost, the platform holders essentially get a cut of any game on the platform before it's even sold a copy, this is why platform holders track the number of software shipped for their platform. They'll make more selling 10m on their own platform because that's 10m units of hardware sold aswell vastly increasing profit.

No company has an entire library of games that sell 50m each either so that's a wild number to claim.
