Games like this are superior on the Switch because no compromises are made to get them running on the platform and you can play them anywhere. These games often look better on the Switch's tiny screen than when they're stretched out on a big TV screen.

There's really zero reason to buy games like this on the PS4 as the PS4 is an inferior console for most indie games.

This is a fact that really seems to bother a lot of Playstation fans.

Oh and don't be surprised if more and more indie developers start skipping the PS platform because of PS+ in the future. PS has become a bad ecosystem for games like this.

Yeah portability plays a role but there's what 16 maybe 17 million switch's out there vs probably around 71 or 72ish million ps4's. On top of that there's no way every switch owner has a ps4 or prioritizes the switch over the PS4 for games like this. The switch has some advantages over the PS4 when it comes to games like this but the switch should loose out simply because the PS4 has it beat like 5 to 1

A lot of indie games are inspired by Nintendo classics, so that is another reason why they sell better on Switch than PS4.
