It's working for nearly every game that ACTUALLY releases on switch. Those are more affected because the market made it clear that they'd rather buy a game on the switch if runs the same as other platforms.

Taking into context what he said, the meaningful thing would be to compare the sale of big budget games on the Switch to the PS4. Unfortunately there are not many which release at the same time, so you cannot really critique his argument. To date all of the games that have performed great on the Switch have been indie/low budget games or toony platformers. So far big selling games on PS4 have not performed great on Switch compared to PS4, some that come to mind.

Fifa,
MortalKombat
DragonBallZ

Maybe AAA games on Switch can outsell their PS4 counterparts but I don't think there are many valid examples. It would have been interesting to see how Outer Worlds and Doom compared but the Switch versions don't have release dates for those titles. It pretty logical to assume though that any title that undergoes signifcant sacrifice will perform worse sales wise then games which land on Switch with very little compromise.  

Of course I can and precisely because of that. Can't compare what isn't there.
