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

As I already explained in my post: if all the top selling games for the PS4 list I grabbed aren't releasing on Switch then the result is more than expected. An unreleased game cannot sell. Removing all games unreleased on Nintendo platforms from the PS-bestseller list it results in a list heavily dominated by first party. As these best-selling games account for a lot of the overall sales this clearly makes the difference. If we look at games that actually released on Switch like Minecraft, the numbers aren't that different anymore. So games aren't releasing on Nintendo because the legend says third party doesn't sell, and because top selling games aren't released the numbers feed back into the legend.

Do you really believe publishers base themselves on legends?

The games that are multi-sellers and got launched on Switch didn't get anywhere near the same sales as on the other platforms like Witcher 3, Fifa, etc. So those pubs have made their analysis of the port feasibility and the result is that most of the time they decide it is not worth it, it isn't whichcraft.

Do you expect a late port on a machine that continuously is avoided by 3rd-parties to do the same instantly? Pretty fair releases without asterisks like Minecraft do well on Switch. But many games don't come from the start and others have a lot of asterisks. You should compare games without these asterisks, like Disgaea games, the Mana games, Octopath Traveler (ask how well it did on Xbox) and so on. Monster Hunter Rise did on Switch alone quite well compared to Monster Hunter World. Not the same exactly and geographical distribution was different (which is the much more interesting discussion to have), but overall good. Microsoft has said they will release CoD in the future. This is one of the reasons PS reaches 85% 3rd party (really, that number is made up of only a few game series). If MS does this release without asterisks, same day, we have another data point.
