I don't think anyone is judging it by how well it sells, but when you have such a game dropping to 10 concurrent players, surely the logical conclusion from that is that the people that bought it clearly don't feel it worth playing.
I'm not a nintendo fan, not even close, as many in the thread will happily tell you, but given how dismissive cliff b was of the switch early on, why should Nintendo fans get hyped for a game that he's wafting under thier noses that's clearly struggling to retain a player base on other platforms, that he's seemingly only considering bringing to switch because it's proven itself to be a solid platform and doing well in install base thus far.
Why would Nintendo fans see this as anything more than trying to cash grab for a failing game, regardless of what reviews say?

It's quite common for companies to wait for a platform to prove itself before commiting.

Indeed, but giving this as your reason?:
“There’s a possibility for everything and anything in this world. I think the hardest part with the Switch is the controls. Look at the game that we have right now, and we just literally by the skin of our teeth put the entire game and the control pad that the PlayStation has. That means that we could probably make it work for the Xbox One in someway, right? But if you’re looking at the Switch the base controller that’s on the unit, it doesn’t have as many buttons.”
For those of us that can count, the Switch has the same face button count as the PlayStastion and Xbox, discounting the touchpad button and touchpad input, which could just as easilly be replaced by the consoles touchscreen anyway (and the game does not use this button to start with).
If anything, the Switch has more.
Let's be clear here:
Switch | PS
up / dpad up
down / dpad down
right / dpad right
left / dpad left
a / circle
b / cross
y / square
x / triangle
capture / share
home / options
---- / PS Home
minus / ----
plus / -----
l / L1
zl / L2
r / R1
zr / R2
analog left / analog left
analog left click / analog left click
analog right / analog right
analog right click / analog right click
Touchpad button / Touchscreen tap
Tocuhpad / Touchscreen
So yeah.. um.. switch doesn't have enough buttons is a stupid reason to give to why you arent supporting it, he could have just said "we're waiting to see how the console sells first", but no, he went right ahead with that excuse.
