EA: "There isn't much room for other titles than 1st party on Switch"

People here are acting like shitty ports are just a matter of laziness on the developer side, but it's not. The Switch has a serious hardware limitation, so it's just silly to expect ports to be on par with the other versions, unless the game in question is several years old and even the Switch is ahead of it technically. If there wasn't a price to be paid for portability, everyone would do it. On top of that, the other platforms are based on the same tech to such a degree, that porting between them is practically copy-pasting compared to what it's like to port for the Switch.
So it comes down to simple numbers. With the time, expense and effort that they would have to put in to make a Switch port and have it be received with meh, they can be cranking out another safe seller for the other platforms. Just business, nothing personal.

I dont think many people expect ports to be on par with other versions, the issue is when publishers are actually being lazy.

Take Capcom as an example, Mega Man 11 is the only current gen game to be released on Switch, everything else is retro collections or previous generation ports.

Games like Doom/Doom Eternal, Wolfenstein 2/Youngblood, Mortal Kombat 11, Overwatch & The Witcher 3 show that current gen titles can be ported to Switch so when Capcom says it's not possible for games like Monster Hunter World, Devil May Cry 5 or the  Resident Evil games to come to Switch than people call bullshit, especially when there are studios offering to port them.
