I agree that their AAA western exclusives won't see the light of day on Switch. Graphically demanding games like Tomb Raider, Deus Ex, Hitman, and the upcoming Marvel games would take alot of extra effort to downgrade enough to run on Switch properly, and the sales likely wouldn't be enough to make it worth the time and effort. Their big Japanese series like KH and FF are definitely more likely, and I do personally believe we'll see FFXV and KH3 on Switch and possibly even a KH 1.5/2.5/2.8 collection and FF7 Remake after it's timed PS4 release.

But like Square said, most of their Switch effort will be on mid-range titles moving forward, they are less graphically demanding and therefore will take less work to get running on Switch. 

You do realise that Rise of Tomb Raider is running on Xbox 360 thats weaker than Switch!? They also said "Switch's core architecture similar to PS4/Xbox One. Some adjustment necessary, but multi-platform games not impossible".

They loud and clear said "we won't rule out any IPs", so you basicly dont have nothing to backup claims like "that their AAA western exclusives won't see the light of day on Switch", or that "the sales likely wouldn't be enough to make it worth the time and effort". Espacily when all reports we have until now most of 3rd party games are selling good on Switch. If Bethesda ported Doom and its porting Wolfenstein 2 I dont see why we couldnt see games like Deus Ex, Hitman and espacily Rise of Tomb Raider.

Also they didn't said that most of their Switch effort will be on mid-range titles, just they want to be more aggressive about mid-range games. Also funny how you act like they wrote only that part about mid-range titles, while you completly ignoring they wrote "When consider games for Switch), we won't rule out any IPs. Those include new ones, currently active ones, currently not-active ones." and "probably other platforms will get these too as part of multi, but we would aggressively make games for Switch".

Denial, part of the human nature, probably.
