From my perspective I would say this genre doesn't have much appeal on Switch and that EA will have to look at other type of games to make the ports to Switch and see better sales... or if they can get by keeping the same engine for 5 years and just update the roster name with a small team even couple hundred thousand can make a profit and keep an image of support to the platform.

That I agree to and is overall a much more plausible explanation for things than the general "games have no competition on Swicth"-explanation. It is sad that FIFA on Switch bombs so hard, but still that probably means the focus of Switch-gamers lies elsewhere.

I don't buy Fifa and PES more than once or twice a gen when they are about 10USD, and wouldn't miss they on my console... but it's better to have it on the console to help grow the userbase... let's see if they can make a market for sport games on Switch, it's too early to tell and probably most Switch owners are Nintendo die hard fans on stablished genres Nintendo thrives.
