Are some indie games an indication of AAA Western game performance? Games like Wolf 2 aren't going to continue to get ported if they don't cover the opportunity cost of doing something else more profitable. That was what I was getting at.

Actually we don't talking about some Indie games but plenty of Indie games are selling great on Switch and actually better than on other platforms. Point in any case is that you are wrong buy saying that Skyrim is only 3rd party million seller on Switch, I also mentioned games that are not Indie and probably million sellers, I can also add to that list Minecraft also. Wolf 2 is not best example in any case because game didn't sell good on other platforms too, on other hand Doom sold/selling OK especially when we talk about late full priced port. At end like I wrote, generaly 3rd party games are selling quite good on Switch, much better than on last few Nintendo platforms.

What I'm saying is I don't see them on Nintendo's website. That's the information I'm basing my posts on. We may have to agree to disagree. The performance of indie games is irrelevant to publishers looking to make bank on AAA games. Minecraft's performance is also irrelevant. I'm thinking you've fallen to the "hot hand falacy". You seem think because AAA games have happened on NSW, that they will continue to come. Sales performance and opportunity cost dominate that discussion for businesses. "Much better than previous nintendo consoles" doesn't hold much water to me. Just because sales aren't as bad as previous consoles, doesn't necessarily mean it's a prudent investment.
