The bar of essentially "the Switch has better third party support than some other consoles that had terrible third party support, therefore it has good third party support".

Another analogy - imagine getting the 4th lowest mark in a class of 30 people. Would you say you're doing well in that class just because you can point to a few people you did better than?

Everything in life is relative............only fanatics deal in absolutes as you seem to be doing hence insinuations that you are a fanboy or Nintendo hater are not really far off the mark.

I always go with the original post that started off a thread, the OP was very clear about what they meant in terms of what they considered "Good" Multiplat sales on the Switch. It is all well and good to dispute elements of that post but it should not become a crusade where you begin to shift goalposts and  selectively apply statistics. 

I don't think anyone (the original poster included) has so far made the claim that the Switch is currently selling some genre of multiplats as well as the PS4, the basic claim has been that there is an uptick in multiplat sales on the Switch which has in a lot of instances justified continued output from these multiplat game publishers.........nothing you've put forward so far has invalidated that, so its making you look just like another hater who is just struggling to give the Switch its dues.

What makes you think I'm dealing in absolutes? Acknowledging that the Switch is getting better third party support than other platforms yet still saying third party support isn't great isn't an absolute at all. Third party support on switch is better than terrible but still not exactly something to write home about. I don't see how this makes me a Nintendo hater.

I literally started commenting on this thread by questioning elements of that post. I also never once even insinuated that the Switch needs to have third party support as good as the PS4 or Xbox one to have "good third party support". I'm not sure why you would think that. The fact that some third party publishers continue to put out Switch games still doesn't mean that third party games are "selling well on switch", or that its getting "good third party support". That is pretty much the bare minimum of what you should expect on a games console. You should expect getting annual FIFA releases on a games console. That should be a given. It's not a sign of a system getting "good third party" support when it does, it just means it definitely isn't terrible. Understand?

... did you actually read anything I wrote?
