Analysis always has political content. In the Patcher situation, all the analyses are a political assertion. The AAA major players want to ignore Switch success, on a production scale. But the sales say otherwise, in an investor meeting, normally have anyone asking where the games for the Switch. The narrative only portable is a defensive movement against Switch AAA production. 

'Want to Ignore Switch Success'. 

That doesn't make any sense. That's like saying 'I want to ignore the PS2's success' back a few gens ago. Ignoring not just a viable market but a exploding one....

They didn't ignore the success of genre revivals: if they did stuff like Octopath, Resident Evil 7, and Crash New 4 wouldn't have been made. But whatever happened to the 'Publishers see the shiny new thing and want to be part of it' phenomenon that leads to battle royal, military shooter, etc saturation? 

Is the Switch not shiny enough?

From a business perspective it indeed does not make sense; third parties could be making considerably more money off the Switch's explosive success than they currently are if they put more games on it.

Hence it logically follows that since their neglect isn't commercial, it must be political.
