"Atlus decided to make Shin Megami Tensei V for Switch due to its playstyles. Players will be able to enjoy the story in HD on a television while also experiencing the game in portable or tabletop mode to put in the grind to level up and fuse demons at the comfort of your own bed."

An intriguing and great reason for games such as these to be on the switch.

Honestly, it's a reasoning many Japanese devs probably have for coming to Switch.  It is a console and handheld, in Japan it undeniably will have the largest reach of all the platforms going forward.  It lets them reach both audiences at once.   And SMT doesn't have enormous sales so keeping costs controlled by picking one platform for a game to be on for the foreseeable future makes sense.
