I don't know what is humorous about this. Non-existing software can't sell. So your argument that 3rd-party software sells worse on Switch is flawed. As I showed here, if 3rd-party software is released on Switch, it sells about as well as on XBox One.

I agree about Crash. Crash probably will do pretty well on Switch, as Rayman Legends (which sells launch aligned even in front of the PS4-version) and Sonic Forces already do. I think it is plausible that Crash sells more on Switch than on XBox One.

Games selling better on Switch than Xbox.

Attack on Titan 2

I'm not sure where you're getting data for Resident Evil Revelations. Are you pitting numbers for Revelations Collection against only Revelations 1 on X1 instead of also including Revelations 2?

Are you noticing a main theme here? LA Noire is the only western developed game that's not cartoony/kid-friendly that's above X1. And that's because most the people who have an X1 already played it on the 360 where it sold over 2.5 million copies.

So when a game is announced that isn't cartoony and/or kid-friendly then don't be shocked if there isn't a Switch version. Since PS4 and X1 have the same x86 architecture and have similar specifications the amount of effort needed to make a version for X1 when already making one for PS4 is scant. That's not the case for the Switch.

Not sure what point you're actually trying to make here - first of all you criticise the Switch for not moving much 3rd party software compared to 1st party.

When it is pointed out that the Switch fares quite well when comparing the 3rd party software that has been released you then go on to point out that we shouldn't be shocked when more ambitious multiplatform games aren't released for Switch...?

Also, defining a successful Switch release as one that outsells the XB1 version doesn't seem fair, since A) it has a much bigger install base & B) a lot of the games released on XB1 much earlier than Switch.

Your arguments are kind of all over the place and kind of smack of you wanting to be negative about Switch, but you're not quite sure how to go about it...
