"Nintendo users only buy Nintendo games on Nintendo systems" How true was this?

All this talk of sales does make me want to point out we're assume that 3rd parties don't have a responsibility to make products that sell on successful platforms.

If there is a successful platform, shouldn't they be a part of it and figure out how to make it work for them?

Not if it doesn't fit into their longterm strategic pipeline. 

If someone is highly successful at writing huge series novels....  they should switch to short stories because novellas are a successful platform?

The question isn't if the switch is successful, the question is does the switch fit into any given developer's strategy.  

And making a game run on PC, ps4, ps5, Xbox one and series is easy.  Engines scale.  Porting to the switch is much harder.....  I hate to point out the PC, ps4, ps5, Xbox one and series x have more total sales than the Switch my a massive margin.
