The way I see it, it's not a matter of 'which is easier to port to', but 'which one is more worthwhile to port to'. Although which console would be cheaper to port to, well, I don't know.

More worthwhile because? We see JPN devs making PS4 games that are exclusive in JPN but with an X1 version for the West. Both hardware are similar enough.

With the game as niche as it is (genre and fanbase) I dont think a switch version ends up being more worthwhile. What is more worthwhile is hitting your largest userbases, which happen to be PS4 or PC >>> X1 >>> Switch. 

But I dont see the X1 version even being made. That stretch goal is ridiculous (even if it was X1 and Switch combined for that goal). 

I look at it that way because at this rate, the game won't be able to reach all available consoles, so going with a option with more potential sales seems like a better move to go with, and Switch seems like the better one to go in the long run. Larger install bases doesn't always mean more sales. What matters more is if that audience is there in that base.
