You pretty much nailed it. The only benefit of the PS4 updates are they look about 4% better while the Switch offers substantially more freedom, and already has the back library of killer games. Not to mention, the games being ported from Wii U are from a console most players had never played - apparently (according to articles which explain why the Wii U failed) in the US, most people thought it was a controller for the Wii and didn't even know it was a console.

You don't have a PS4. 4% better. That downplaying is impressive.

It doesn't matter if PS3 sold way better than Wii U, ports of PS3 games are just as justified as ports of Wii U games and don't bring in the sales here, Nintendo shouldn't be rewarded by being given a pass for a failed system that they quickly withdrew support.

Your fanboyism is showing; it's not an unfair reward for failure, it's the fact of the matter. You're trying to draw up rules that don't fit the facts to justify a flawed position. Plus, you completely ignored the original post that I was commenting on which already refuted your entire argument.

The problem with the ports on PS4 was that that was the provided content; a slight enhancement to visuals is trivial and doesn't change the fact that it's the same people playing the same games. Meanwhile, Switch led off with original heavy hitters like Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey. Whether you like it or not, low sales of the Wii U are a factor - as it means the audience of those titles was limited. By releasing them to the Switch, you're presenting content for the first time to a mostly new audience.
