Switch third party price, value and perception

If its not exclusive and it is on PS4 or PC, no point in buying it on Switch is how I perceive it.

 

You can get it for cheaper sooner than later sometimes, have achievements/trophies, bigger userbase for online MP on competitor platforms.

 

 

I guess the only benefit would be if it comes bundled with everything like Disgaea 5 Complete or for portability use but I'd rather get exclusives on the Switch.

I buy every multiplatform game for the Switch due to portability.  Resolution is overrated and as we get further out of the first year, games will start dropping at the same time.  Remember many 3rd parties jumped on the Switch market AFTER it became a hit.  It will even out with time.

 

Why is portability so important?  It gives me and extra hour and a half of playtime a day at work and not to mention any overnight trips I go on.  Then at home can enjoy it on my big screen and it still looks great.  Does it look the best on the TV?  No, of course not.  However DOOM has already shown me that while a game might not look as good side by side, you won't really be noticing it while playing unless you are looking for it.

 

If a game is only released for PS4 and X1, I will buy for that platform.  I see no reason to buy anything available on Switch anywhere else because it maximizes my play time.  In the end, playing the game is what is most important afterall.
