Does Payday 2 even have a chance on the Switch?

If you're referring to adult-oriented third party games, titles like Resident Evil and Call of Duty sold well on the Wii. 

I'm not saying this particular game will do well, but history shows that "mature" non-Nintendo games can in fact be successful on Nintendo hardware.

2-3 million on Wii vs. 10's of millions on other consoles. And many dismiss the wii as a fluke...I don't but there's that argument. And yes, the WIi had sales like this but any other Nintendo console, historically, these games sell llike shit. Especially compared to the stiff competition Nintendo's 1st party brings to the table. I would love for these games to thrive on Nintendo consoles but the individuals who want these games, they're playing them or have played them 6 years ago on PS or XB. 

It's not just the Wii though; even on other Nintendo systems such games have seen success when done right, from Goldeneye and Turok on the N64, to Resident Evil 4 on Gamecube. You just have to offer an appealing product.
