You have a nintendomination banner so I went off that. So you criticize Nintendo...congrats you are an objective Nintendo fan. 

I’d say the goalposts are fine. It’s the same story every gen....why do Nintendo fans care that 3rd party games generally don’t thrive? It isn’t an attack on Nintendo or their games...so why care? Switch is selling like crazy and even then you guys can’t admit one thing different about the platform. 

The tweet mentioned over 1000 titles releasing in the year alone...,how do you expect that to be divided up? Even worse when you introduce Nintendo software getting the lions share. Mostly everybody gets scraps, but they try anyway because Switch is the hottest gaming system out there. 

The reason so many are coming to Switch is that many of them report their best sales on Switch. The reason that overall 3rd-parties have a smaller percentage of the sales is, that the big sellers on other platforms is, that the best sellers aren't released on Switch. It is the same old argument: look, the games we haven't released aren't selling! But the games that have been released, do sell well and often better than on other platforms. Why can't you admit, that your argument is broken. It isn't that hard.

As long as the top selling games are from Nintendo I can’t be wrong...that is certainly not the case with Xbox and PS. The sales gap between 1st and 3rd can’t be ignored. How can you not see that? You just telling me excuses where as I am talking results. Again why care it’s not a dig at Nintendo...

Hey if the devs are fine with a lower bar, like if they are happy with selling 1 million tops lifetime then by all means it’s a success. But most likely most of e 1000 plus games will only sell sub 500k. I mean how much disposable income you think Nintendo gamers have?
