Call of Duty on the Wii is not at all a good example. COD wasn't pumping out Billions of Dollars until after MW2 and Black Ops, so any profits Activision did gain from that was good because they didn't see the mountain of cash they were gonna get from milking COD on the Ps3/Xbox. Since COD truly erupted around 2009-2010 to its levels that it is now, plus its two year development cycle, the last Black Ops and MW3 was already in their way, and would have been counterproductive to cancel. Plus it would be a good time for Activision to test the waters of a then popular COD in a big fanbase.
Also Skyrim was in every other system aside from my printer, porting a 7th gen title to newer gen would be pennies compared to its development and porting costs. The real testament to your statement would be if Bethesda decides to continue supporting the Switch if deem Wolfenstein II to be profitable. Wolfenstein II is a new game, and has no 7th gen counterpart. Meaning, its a clean slate.
