At this point I expect all same day release 3rd party games to do better than the PS4 version due to the install base difference. The games in the past get a pass, but they still launched on a system with a growing install base.

As for late ports... I feel like a game like DQXI S should outsell a game like Arms by a mile due to quality difference regardless, not to mention for the fact that it sold much later in the Switch's life. SE put a lot of effort into the Switch version, but the sales simply aren't DQ levels.

It's much easier for 3rd party games to sell on PS4 when there zero million seller from 1st party to compete with. 

Animal Crossing new horizons alone is bigger than Monster Hunter World+Final Fantasy 7R +Dragon Quest 11 combined on PS4. 

Top 5 games in Japan this Gen

1. Animal Crossing 

2. Smash Bros Ultimate

3. Pokemon Sword and Shield

4. Splatoon 2

5. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

If you take a look at the last fiscal year, Nintendo generated more profits than Sony gaming division, Capcom, and Square Enix combined. 

I kinda agree with EA on this, Nintendo 1st party titles on Switch are too monstrous and most of those still retain a full MSRP. 

I think at this point people need to accept the reality of current Nintendo Switch software situation. 

Their domination on software sales make it hard for third party games to compete in the same environment. 

If that's is true, aways 3rds party games sell better in PS4. It's not true. Indie games sell better, in majority of cases.
