So let me see if I follow your logic here... EA won't port Madden to the console because Fifa 18 sales were disappointing (according to you), but why then did they announce Fifa 19 for the Switch? LOL. Also Bethesda just announced that the new Doom will also be released on the Switch, so they must be happy with how their earlier ports sold on the console. Also I made a post in this thread with plenty of sources that show third party games are selling very well on the Switch. It's funny how Switch success seems to bother people like you. Makes it all the more fun to me. |
It's more how much managers in both companies like the platform or not. Yes, they have to justify their decisions, but there is as much goal-post-moving and bending as in the forums. I personally would say FIFA did not sell well at all on Switch, compared to the other outings. Still, by now it is most likely past 1 million with digital, and physical will be there at latest with the holidays. And with FIFA ported to other stuff including X360 at which it sold much worse than Switch, it is very hard to argue not to bring another FIFA for Switch. Same goes for NBA2K.
With Bethesda we have the strange situation, that Skyrim sells comparatively better than Doom. Still they decided to bring Wolfenstein and Doom Eternal instead of Fallout, which probably would sell better. I say someone at id really likes the Switch.
