We have seem plenty examples of late port not really being affected. A lot of timed exclusives on Xbox done much better on PS when they released there over a year later (but as I remember they usually were game of the year editions), but we also saw the PC ports of PS games that were like less than 1/5 of PS sales. I would say it all depend on the overlap of the userbase, if your title release much later on another platform that have a big overlap sales will take a big hit in comparison (but if launched simultaneously probably the total would still be the same and only split would change). So I'm not truly surprised Hogwarts done a good opening on Switch, it is a very nice game from a recognizeable IP and even with all the sacrifices on Switch it isn't that out of place.
