Third party Switch ports don't necessarily need to sell as much as PS4 to be successful

How much it sells versus other platforms ultimately doesn't matter as long as it's profitable. If a game sells 5 million on PS4 and 1 million on Switch, but the Switch port makes money, then it is successful.

And devs are human, they make mistakes. Surely you're not suggesting video game developers have never made a bad decision?

I'd be surprised if the developers even had the choice of which platforms they wanted to release the game for; I'm pretty sure it's the publisher who makes that decision, unless the developers own the IP and got a concession from the publisher.

That's a good point actually, I didn't think of that. Post amended.
