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.

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).

Nintendo said half of players were playing in portable mode. However, they don't specify whether they're playing inside or outside. The reason why people are getting Switch is the first party line-up. If portability were a major reason for purchase, we should see more 3rd party games with better numbers in sales charts.
