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. :)

Profit is not all, the level of profit is also important. If you block 100 people for say half a year for a project, and you have a choice between a project that probably makes 10% profit and one that makes probably 50% profit - which do you choose?

It is not like these companies have a lot of people sitting around and waiting for something to port. If they driop a port, these people can do somethign else, maybe something more profitable.
