It would get more than "decent sales" if Nintendo strikes an exclusive marketing deal with them. Under that circumstance, it would be easy to understand. That's how marketing deals work. You pay money to get brand association. That the kind of stuff that sells games on systems.

The thing is, I doubt it's worth the money. MS tried and it hasn't worked, and I also doubt Nintendo could turn things around concerning FIFA and PS

In what situation has associative marketing not worked? What do you think the goal is? It's not to make the PS4/XBO versions sell bad; it's just a tactic to make FIFA look like it belongs on the Switch. That doesn't exist with Nintendo. It worked with PS4 when they did it with Destiny and CoD. People look at Nintendo systems and think "this is not where people buy sports game." The only point of associative marketing is to change that perception. The biggest reason some games don't sell well on Nintendo consoles is because the only types of games marketed for it are colorful japanese games, so people only buy them to play those games. Having every Fifa commercial show the game being played on the Switch and ending with the Switch logo would do a huge job in changing that.

You're deliberately refusing to observe if you honestly believe the PS4 didn't get to where it is today primerily because of this kind of marketing.
