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.

But thats again profit. :)

In Japan, your SKU can get 22% of all sales, by selling 50% more copies of your SKU than in the UK.

You know, 50% more than ~8000 is ~12000.

In other words, not much. Add the two together (~20000), and you still get ~2.5% of all sales in the UK alone.

Actually 12k for Fifa in Japan for still limited instal base is OK, I mean even PS4 version of Fifa 18 sold 56k in Japan while in UK it sold probably around 10x more.
