| ryuzaki57 said: Good point, OP. Switch ports are a lost cause to begin with : more expensive, inferior versions, late on the market and portability is not a thing anymore. There's a lot more value in PS4/X1, which also have truckloads of games that won't come to Switch as E3 clearly showed. |
So the millions of people that have bought a Switch so far, and the vast majority of whom play either in portable or mixed mode (according to Nintendo's own data) don't count at all. People like me that largely only have the option to play on portable systems like Switch, Vita, and 3DS should have nothing to cater to us? I believe Switch selling alongside PS4/XONE but not directly competing with them (much like previous portables have done) demonstrates that portability is very much a thing. While third-party mature games have not done well on the Switch, there are plenty of other games that have done well from indies to various Japanese releases.
It is also easy to infer that the games are inferior and such when you dismiss the central tenant of the system which is its portability, which is a key reason why people are buying the system. If this is the parameter that you are using to dismiss these ports from coming to Switch, I can just as easily and erroneously say console ports in general are not worth it because a lower-tier mid-range PC gets superior games that become cheaper a lot quicker than on consoles (which obviously is not true as there are people that like the convenience of console gaming).
