Sorry but no. If they are approaching to have more multiplatform approach, creating divisions to create exclusives is the opposite movement.

I have no issue with Switch having more support (nor even if others are having less support because of it), but when putting only in Switch technical limitations aren't a reason. So'll see if Nintendo fans will complain about it, because when there are real limitations they complain, but when it is a market decision will they?

You are misinterpreting the Square-Enix quote. Their advance in multiplatform development refers to the move towards PC, PS, Xbox and Switch releases, as opposed to the previous approach of making multiplats for PC, PS and Xbox.

Of course technical limitations have nothing to do with what Square-Enix has said about their plans.

As for Nintendo fans, what they've been saying is that third parties should support a console that sells, so if Square-Enix really does support Switch better in the future because the console sells, there will logically not be complaints coming from Nintendo fans. If Square-Enix does what Nintendo fans demand for good reason, then Nintendo fans won't complain about Square-Enix. That shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.

I know that you have a habit of finding hypocrisy in what non-PlayStation fans say, but you take it to a level where you throw logical reasoning out of the window in order to have something on your hands. If you are objectively looking for hypocrisy in this specific case, you'll find it in yourself, because for the longest time you have defended virtually every anti-Nintendo decision by a third party as rational business while now that Square-Enix has decided to support a Nintendo console more due to its good sales, you do nothing but question their decision and portray it as something that doesn't make sense.

Your crystal ball is great for translating what isn't even said... but it contradicts Wyrdness's.

Nintendo fans have been complaining about lack of 3rd part support since at least GameCube... and GC sold poorly, Wii wasn't able to sell MPs, WiiU sold poorly and so far Switch is selling good but for AAA games usually much lower than X1 and PS4... strange this request for Nintendo fans, does your qualification for it starts only at Switch? And PC/X1/PS4 are platforms that sells, so those games not getting there would also be against what these so called Nintendo fans are asking right?

If you want to put hypocrisy on my posts you'll have to work harder. Because as I said in the previous post I have no issue with Switch getting more support even if other platforms get less support because of it (as SE making a exclusive division) I first pointed out that both announcements from SE contradicted each other. And if SE gets more profit without porting exclusives to X1/PS4 I don't really care, but that certainly goes against what Nintendo fans here have been defending... even more when you look all rejoicing with this announcement, while pretty sure they would attack SE if it was a division exclusive to X1 or PS4, as some here even attack companies when they avoid to do ports of games that the port wouldn't look good on Switch to the point of accusing Sony of paying to skip only Switch for MHW or that there is a conspiracy of all big 3 parties to kill Nintendo.

You've misread what they're saying multiplatform approach just means supporting all platforms for example PS4/PC/X1 would get games like KH3 and FFXV while Switch would get games like Octopath, TWEWY and some shared releases like DQXI. This approach is still a multiplatform approach it doesn't mean every game would be multiplatform.

So you do have a crystal ball to interpret that more multiplaform approach means PS4/PC/X1 without Switch? Seems your crystal ball needs to talk to Rol's because his says MP means PS4/PC/X1/Switch plus exclusives for Switch.
