It was released on PS4 a year earlier only because game has exclusive for PS4 for one year, point that after one year game was released on other 3 platforms also roves that. Despite that, I wouldnt suprised at all if Nintendo keep back announcement for Nintendo Direct, also like DonFerari stated, that isn't a proof that they are holding it just to increase doubledip in any case.

It just happens often enough. Is the Switch really that hard to make games for? I mean Dark Souls Remastered got delayed without much explanation.

Probably it have to do with small budget and teams that they prioritize where they think they will sell more and finish faster than double dip. Considering for evidence the temp exclusives of X360 and Tomb Raider for X1 we have seem that it is much more likely that you'll lose sales by delaying 1 year than earn for double dips. Sure we have cases like TLOU that had earned sony a lot of sales with TLOUR and perhaps portability is enough reason for major double dips (at least in our bubbles seems like there have been a lot of double dips for portability).

Would like to see some numbers to evaluate how much double dip Switch gets compared to possible lost sales from delayed launch. Perhaps we are wrong and it makes a lot of economical sense for publishers to do it.
