Power plays a factor in this, it'd why switch couldn't get the likes of Mass Effect Andromeda, Witcher 3 or the next mainline Fallout/elder Scrolls games, even if the developers wanted to. But it's not the only factor. Here's a list of third party console releases that the switch has missed out on in 2018, just January to May: Kerbal Space Program Monster Hunter World Dragonball Fighter Z UFC 3 Dynasty Warriors 9 Kingdom Come Deliverance Metal Gear Survive "ew" Sword Art Online Fatal Bullet De Blob 2: Remastered Gravel Devil May Cry HD Collection Surviving Mars Burnout Paradise Remastered AC: rouge remastered A Way Out Far Cry 5 Mx vs ATV: All Out Hellblade Battlezone Gold Edition Super Mega Baseball 2 Conan Exiles Laser League Now out of those games I'd say only about 6 are probably down to power issues, power is an issue, it will stop big AAA blockbusters like Farcry 5 ever coming, but it's not the only factor. |
I'm not saying power isn't important, I never said that. I'm saying that aside from the obvious exceptions, developers don't care about power so long as they can port easily to it. A good majority of those titles skipping the Switch have more to do with the publishers and developers initially unsure of the Switch's success, and to an extent is still unsure, and want another year or so before they commit.
