My problem is that the developers werent cautious with the PS4, and that was a home console(Im talking about japan here, since the article is about japanese companies).I get if it were companies that dont traditionally develop for handhelds, but for these companies that do, I dont get why they didnt get in earlier.Nintendo handhelds(since Switch is part handheld) never sold badly, and developers that have games that are more portable centric, like Capcom with MH, are nowhere to be seen(MH XX port doesnt count.That game is a port of an port of an expansion.I lost count of how many times Capcom resold that game).Which, if you ask anyone here, would be a garantee that would sell well on the Switch.

Thats whats mindbogling.The part why its ok to go early to other consoles, or at least offer decent support, but not for the Switch, which would also be a safe bet.

I placed the 2 main offenders. I can list more if you want.

Pokken dosent count because thats a Pokemon company/Nintendo decision to bring it over, rather than Namco.Outside of that, some are ports of years old games, others are really old games that should have been part of VC and there are games like Xenoverse 2 and MH XX that not only are one year old(with MH XX being port of a port), but having better sequels and/or versions comming up, making those games kinda pointless.

I will give you that Capcom and Bandai didnt really anything worthwhile in the first year for PS4 or XOne, but then again, I dont remember them having something to release back at that time(they didnt have a game being released that year for other platforms as far as I remember, so you cant release what you dont have), much differently of what is happening now.So your comparison is kinda a moot point.
