Maybe..but what better answer is there?  "too demanding for our hardware" would have trolls dancing in the streets.  At least this way, Reggie has us arguing over whether it is possible and whether Rockstar would even want to try.

He could blame Rockstar (probably a bad idea) or he could promise it will be there later (okay, but now what?) or he could take it down a peg (we'll leave boring cowboy simulators for the other consoles).  I like the last option best but it might be just as bad as insulting Rockstar directly, for company relations.

I am open to other answers that would make Nintendo Switch look good without hurting Rockstar.

Edit: forget boring, how about, "CASUAL cowboy simulator"? 

He could have said that even though he thinks the game is great, R* had priorities that didn't include porting the game to Switch.

That makes it sound like the Switch isn't worth Rockstar's time and effort, not a good choice of words in terms of PR.
