But using falcom is like cherry picking, a ton of game franchises are not doing that well anymore. Case in point, next week we will get the DW empires 9 sales. It looks like the Ps version sold more than the switch version but even when it is on a userbase of 30 million DW empires 9 seems to be selling less than DW empires 8 that was on PS only.

MH is interesting because where is MH World 2 going to release on?  If it is exclusive for Switch then yeah you are right but what does it say if it skips the Switch?


Falcom is just one example the other example has been the top 30 in recent times for example 1)FFVIIR barely sold 1m on PS4 and was hardly a blip on PS5 and this is an anticipated remake of a well liked game meanwhile on the Switch side the likes of Momotaro and Taiko no Tatsujin out sold VIIR on both platforms combined just think about that for a second, 2)Switch versions of games are also outselling PS versions in the region.

It isn't cherry picking it is pointing out what things have come to, you seem to miss the point of MHR 3)you said it's a risk for NS exclusives when that clearly showed otherwise MHW is shared across the other platforms while NS has its own ground up game that other consoles don't have indicated the was more confidence in the game being on a single console. MHW2 will release on XB and PS while NS or its successor will get another ground up game dedicated to it.

1) I thought about it and I see that the horrible sales has lead to more SE announcement for PS including a big one called FFXIV that is skipping switch. 

2) You say this exactly in the week when PS DW empires 9 seems to outsell the switch version.

3) I said devs probably still see making a game for switch exclusive as a risk.  That's why we see bigger projects like Tales/scarlet Nexus/Resident evil on PS but not on switch. And 2022 basically starts with elden Ring one another game on PS that skips switch. PS hardware sales are down for a long time but still devs prefer to make a game for PS.
