Well we now have a logical answer. It is stipulated in EA's contract with Fifa that a game must be made for every major platform. So, that would explain why they may want to sabotage their own title. They really never wanted to work with Nintendo or on Nintendo's hardware but in the case of Fifa, they have no choice. To justify not ever working with Nintendo again, they make a bad product, under ship it, do not promote it, and use the low sales as an excuse to never work on Nintendo's hardware again. This also explains why they would not announce or even talk about making any other titles for Switch, because outside of an outlier situation, they never planned to work on Switch.

Those are some quite theories of conspiracy. :D

For devs is quite simple, if they think they can make profit buy porting some game to some platform, they will port game. People definitely overreacting about those 1% in UK, I mean Fifa 18 on Switch in Japan sold around 22% of all Fifa sales in Japan. :)

I have never used 1% in any conversation. I said it is rather strange that the game sold out on amazon.uk and GAME but did not push 10,000 units. There is nothing you can say to me that will convince me that is not sabotage. Nothing. And now I have a logical explanation as to why and I listed it above. I have no idea why 1% was brought up by you in the context of a conversation I do not think involved you from the start.

As far as devs thinking they can make a profit, all of that goes out the window when the developer is contractually obligated to make a game for new hardware. No matter what the developer thiinks, they have a contract to honor. Now, I am sounding redundant.
