Bethesda says that all of their games on Switch have been "hugely popular".

My point still stands sames: "So, announcements were popular not games itself, so thats they made one more big announcement because their goal is to have popular announcements instead of popular games and good sales of those games"!? :D

That dont make sense, its clearly he talking about popularity of games they bringed to Switch, and that's why they announced new Doom game also. Some of your guys are trying too hard, fact is that before they also said they are satisfied with Switch sales, and fact is that they are bringing new Doom game also. If that isn't true they wouldn't continue Switch support and they wouldnt bring Doom Eternal to Switch, they doing things because of profit not because some announcement is popular (whats a point if game is not popular and not selling).

 

Going buy yours points:

-No, IGN guy were talking about support of Switch not about announcements, and Bethesda guy continue to talk about support and popularity.

-They didn't mention sales but popularity of games on Switch, popular games on some platform means good sales.

-Thats a point, Doom sold well enough that they will bring another one, it doesnt need to be multi million seller game.

-They didn't talk specifically about Skyrim and Doom but something with in line that they are satisfied with Switch sales and that they will have more games for Switch, that was before E3.

And my point still's the same: they weren't necessarily talking about sales. That conversation was, to me, more geared towards Bethesda support and how people reacted to them (announcements per se and what was announced), than anything related to how the actual games were commercially received.

 

No, Doom, doesn't need to be a million seller for support to continue… but it would be great wouldn't it? Imagine down the line, where Switch support becomes more difficult and the decision has to be made based on sales. Wouldn't higher sales help that decision?; A port of a game requires more time and they aren't sure if the Switch market will support it enough to give them a good financial return. Wouldn't it be great if their previous games sold more?

The same goes for other developers: the wider the market is, the more likely is Switch bound for support even in it's last legs or when it gets new competitors.

A company like Bethesda doesn't settle for the results that are in the lower end of their estimates.

Thanks for that.
Being satisfied - or whatever the actual response was - is not the same as being hugely popular. See the difference when they actually talk about sales? Those two description are really different.

  

Again:

-They didn't mention sales but popularity of games on Switch, popular games on some platform means good sales. They clearly talk about popularity of games their brought, not popularity of support and their announcements, it dont make sense to talk about that at all, they even said "I think folks enjoyed and appreciated" that implies enjoyed games and appreciated support.

-Whats your point exalty? Offcourse that bigger sales would be better for any game for any platform. Its like you wrote "water is wet", so whats your point? They dont need time at all for Switch port, they easily hire some company outside company to do port (like Bethesda is actualy doing), and than just wait profit when game starts to sell.

-They said before they were satisfied, now maybe they think they are hugely popular.
