So? Should we do a list of games that were slated to be PS4 exclusive and then came over to the Switch? Would be at least as long as yours...

And about the bolded part: Sony is the one with the constant moneyhatting to have games on their platform, not Nintendo. That has been proven time and again.

The vice versa list would not be nearly as prominent.

Nintendo lost, MH,DQ, the best selling Japanese third party games of all time.

Keep in mind Playstation lost both of them before when the Playstation brand showed visible signs of shrinking in Japan. Sony got both only due to the Wii U being so damn bad at sales and the 3DS so damn weak. Now that Nintendo doesn't have either weakness anymore, both are coming back to Nintendo. You could see it well with the DQ XI S definitive edition first and now MHR releasing in a couple months.

Video games have long production times, so many games that are getting released now have still begun production only around the time the Switch got released, so the Switch being a big success was far from guaranteed at the time. Games that started development in 2019 or later on the other hand, are starting to flock over to the Switch, as the Playstation brand clearly has nothing to counter the Switch in Japan.
