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.

How about the fact that retailers have to order stock from EA? EA is not the only one with a say in how much stores are going to stock. If retailers are apprehensive to dedicate space to FIFA 18 on Switch (in which they would be correct), stores will not carry as many copies.
