The Switch is not even getting COD, even the Wii U got COD. What is the reasoning for this now?

 

Has Nintendo explained why this is still happening?

Its true that Switch still dont has CoD while Wii U had two CoD games, on other hand Wii U had only Fifa and only one NBA games for instance while Switch already has two Fifa and NBA games, and same games like Skyrim, Doom, Wolf2, Dark Souls, Diablo 3, CiV6, like 8 Final Fantasy games announced...that Wii U never had. So, Switch is getting continued 3rd party support from 3rd party even that 3rd party support is still much weaker compared to XB1/PS4, and we will have more and more similar announcements and support, asome noticeable games that Switch recently received/receiving, Fortnite, Paladins, Crash Bandicoot, Cities: Skylines, Arena of Valor, Valkyria Chronicles 1/4, Warriors Orochi 4, Warframe,  Dragon Ball FighterZ, Fifa 19, NBA 19, Diablo 3, CiV6, Starlink, Team Sonic Racing..

Also, when we talking about really big 3rd party games like RDR2, CoD, AC, BF...those games require plenty of development time, all those games were in development even before become obvious that Switch will be success with strong install base. I dont saying we could see all those games on Switch, but some big 3rd party games could come to Switch, for instance CoD.

 

Why would Nintendo even try explained point that plenty of 3rd parties dont come to Switch!? Its very obvious that from plenty of aspects Switch is a quite difrent compared to XB1/PS4, not to mentione its not like first time that Nintendo dont have full 3rd party support, they didnt had full 3rd party support after SNES. So implying that Nintendo should explained that dont make sense.

Although your comparison is fair, it'd be fairer if you could make a comparison with 2018 releases on all platforms. Skyrim, Dark Souls, Diablo 3 and FF are very old games. These games could get an iPhone release at this point if they haven't yet.

Besides games like Fortnite and Minecraft, that many are pointing out, are games that have been released on everything, like phones, toasters and fridges and such. If those games weren't on Switch that would be an awful fail for Nintendo. They don't count as third party showcases in my opinion.
