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

Dunno how that works for WRPG and Action. We haven't data for that. We can only talk about what is available on multiplat.

I never followed which qualifies with how many As. Game is game.

We can see 7th gen...

WRPG and Action games have a good show on Xbox, JRPG and Platforms don't. Opposite for Switch. Same for Shooters and sports games. We could already see this trend last gen. So unless we have contrary evidence Wii serves to show that 3rd parties will more likely sell more on Xbox than Nintendo.

Well, and current evidence show they sell on the same level. It's clear unreleased games don't sell, but we can't just assume things about them.

And we can't go after WiiU either, it hadn't WRPGs either for that point. It also has different sales curves. Rayman Legends has nearly double the sales over the same timeframe on Switch compared to WiiU. Most games ported from WiiU do significantly better. Extrapolate from WiiU and think they do the same seems not right.

Well, you have your opinions, your theories. But you can't state them as given, as long as you lack data to support your stance. I for one am very excited to see how the multiplat titles releasing over this year will do on their respective platforms to get a better picture.
