You're listing Dragon Quest as a lost Sony exclusive (Even the "home console" version was announced for Switch long before it released on PS4, so what are you going on about?) Not that the rest of your post is any less laughable. Third parties are actually being smart and careful. They know that install bases are pretty much meaningless if the player base isn't willing to buy their games (See the Wii). As long as PS4 remains the lead platform for third parties, the less powerful Switch will frequently get late ports. Like it is the case with Valkyria Chronicles 4 and Dragon Quest XI. Hopefully it does remain the lead platform for major games until PS5 arrives, because as a home console and PC gamer, I don't want developers to be constrained with 2005 technology in 2018-2023. I can see the appeal of portability but it's a non-factor to me. |
Portability may not be for you, but it’s Japan we’re talking about. Eventually, games like Animal Crossing, Pokémon, and, hopefully, more games from third parties (like those from the 3DS camp) will come to the Switch and attract whoever wants to play these titles and there are droves of them in Japan. With the portability factor, it can attract the people in Japan due to their style of living.
