Well, I have a simple answer. If I look at this list for best-selling PS4 titles: https://gaminggorilla.com/best-selling-ps4-games/
And I remove the Sony first party, we have the following games:
- GTA V
- multiple CODs
- RDR 2
- multiple FIFAs
- Fallout 4
- Star Wars Battlefront
- Battlefield 1
- Minecraft
- Destiny
Of these games only some FIFA and Minecraft released on Switch (a successful console in difference to the WiiU). FIFA releases on Switch as gimped Legacy Edition, so it is understandable it doesn't do as well. And Minecraft does actually do well on Switch. So my conclusion is: if the best-selling 3rd-parties aren't releasing on Switch, they obviously can't sell. Even if some release late or gimped versions, customers aren't stupid enough to buy them. And if customers are trained long enough to n ot expect 3rd-parties on a Nintendo console, they will have other consoles or PC for these games and if for some reason a 3rd-party game is releasing and in good shape, they still will opt for the version on a platform with more consistent 3rd-party support. There you have it.
