Perhaps they are betting on the Switch long term even if the current sales are modest. Activision did this with CoD on Wii, but according VGChartz sales declined with each release. MW3 was one of the best selling ever in the series but did poor on Wii.

Doom did okay, but those numbers wouldn't get much praise on Xbox or PlayStation. Wolfenstein 2 might be a flop on Switch. Will Doom Eternal sell as well as its predecessor? If the answer is no, then support may not last.

NBA 2K18 has sold a small fraction of other platforms by the way in spite of having about half the userbase of X1.

There are a few 3rd party games that have done well on Switch like Skyrim, Sonic and a few other games due to limited options in the launch window. But it seems like Switch is another platform primarily played by Nintendo fans. Whether it be fans of the NES to Wii U, Gameboy to 3DS. Nintendo has again been successful at appealing to its target audience.

But when the X1 had a userbase of 20 million, it did a much better job at selling 3rd party games then Switch currently does. Its also possible many Switch owners also use a X1 or PS4. That would mean they tend to use Switch for its exclusives.

Actually we have thread with sales of sales of 3rd party games, and like half of games sold better on Switch compared to XB1 despite bigger install base. 3rd party games are generaly selling good on Switch but even if they selling less compared to XB1, it doesnt matter, point is that devs can easily make profit on Switch ports.

I'm not arguing 3rd party have zero potential of selling better on Switch, it happens.

But what 3rd party games are selling a million or multi millions on Switch? That's the big picture, not the games they share.
