Does Payday 2 even have a chance on the Switch?

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.

Of course. Making great content does matter. But since the 64 and Gamecube developers and subsequently, audiences have ditched Nintendo platforms and the damage has been done as far as I'm concerned. The same with Final Fantasy VII. Once they jumped from 64 because it didn't fit their vision, the fans went with it and haven't returned since. I think that's the time period and following the 64, that gamers started to shift and 3rd party games didn't stack up against even Nintendo's lower profile IP.
