I know, but older sports games are very often have huge deals and can be bought for few bucs will new ones cost $60, and again, you comparing difrent games not same.

We dont need them, but they also gave us one big picture. Vita rececing much less games than few years ago, Wii U dont rececing any games for quite time now.

Yeah, there are few examples that generaly sell well on Nintendo platforms in any case, but we dont talking about those games, no one mentione Just Dance and Lego like examples od good sales of 3rd party games on Switch.

Why does it matter whether I'm comparing different games or not? I'm comparing similar games in the same series. If your logic is sound, games that come out with a higher install base should sell better than games with a lower install base, yet there are literally hundreds and hundreds examples of video game series where later selling games in that series sell worse on higher install bases, even well before that console's user base begins to migrate to other platforms.

So you need statements to "give you one big picture" but don't seem to recognize that a publisher that doesn't make a statement but is still putting out 2-3 Vita games in 2017 is letting their publishing make that statement for them. For what its worth, there was at least 77 Wii U games released in 2017, and at least 13 games released on Wii U this year. In fact, publisher RCMADIAX has released over 30 Wii U games, most of which were released after 2016. I suppose they must have been pretty happy with the the sales on the Wii U to release so many games on that platform over the years. That or they are sadistic and love lighting money on fire.

Because I talking about same games on same platform, that doesnt have anything with different games on different platforms, Skyrim, Fifa, NBA, Doom, Zelda, Mario...would sell more than it sold curently on Switch if install base is 30m instead of 20m, and logical all games will keep selling how install base is rising, its simply as that but you have problem accepting that.

We take all in account to have more realistic picture, yes. 2-3 games for Vita in 2017. dont change nothing. How much there were retail games from those 77 Wii U games released in 2017.!? Only 9! Because you using Wikipedia, I will do same, Switch after 17 months on market has 1275 games listed, Wii U after 5-6 years has 759 games listed, with huge difference if we actually talk about bigger 3rd party games, Wii U left almost without any in its first year while Switch 3rd party support is increasing in second year.
