I don't recall Yamashita commenting on the quality of PS4 games...

Not sure I'd call it decisive. Sounds like there were other factors at play as well:
"We’re starting to do more on Nintendo Switch. SNK Heroines is not the only one. They support us in a good way. Compared to that, Sony is not friendly with small publishers like us. They just care about big Japanese companies. Also, if we simultaneously release a Switch version and a PS4 version of the same title, currently the sales trend is two to one. That means the Switch version sells twice as much as the PS4 version. Physically and digitally. A lot of PS4 titles are coming up, so the market is very competitive. Compared to that, the Switch market still has lots of room for publishers to make money."
I count three potential factors in this quote.

I mean that they care more about how much subsidies they will get from Nintendo rather than focusing on delivering a great product that people will like and buy. |
How are you measuring the level of focus being dedicated towards game quality?
