It was healthy but not at the time of Tales of Vesperia release. If you really want to argue install base difference the XB1 in 2019 has a massive advantage to the 360 in 2009. Tales of Vesperia and many other games simply did much better on 360 (physically) than the XB1 despite an install base disadvantage.

We can disagree on the first point, I personally think "remaster" is just marketing so that people are more obligated to buy a late port. Of course a late port will have easy improvements, but nothing substantial is changed.

Markets that matter, of course I won't bring in Antarctica. The Switch does comparably well in UK compared with many other markets though, where they have little presence.

PS4 hit 1m in Middle East, as well as 1m in China. Switch is ~0 China and a bit more in Middle East I assume.

PS4 did like 2-2.5m in UK with XB1 close behind in 1.75 full years, Switch is at 1.4m. Which is still quite good, hardly what I call "weakest market by a significant margin".

Just because it generally does well on PS consoles does not mean it is associated with the PS brand. A main new game might be associated with PS brand, but not a late port.

If we go by markets that matter as you put it then all the countries you mention don't factor in Middle East is also not one country it's a whole range of countries that the 1m is spread across as for China Nintendo rarely ever release their current gen platforms over there instead they release modified versions of prior platforms this doesn't really back any point you made.

Again read what is being said this isn't about generally doing well it's about being associated with the brand and it's not a late port either and it is a main game a remaster of one.

You aren't reading what I am saying, so quite frankly I am done wasting my time with you. I don't care how you classify it, as established in bold.
