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

Why does that matter? They're still big name games from big name publishers that past Nintendo consoles weren't getting.

Because of how companies decide which games are getting released on which system.

Microtransactions and the money that's made from them may be the sole reason why these games are still releasing at all.

Cut the MTXs and those games may have potentially never been released at all.

That can potentially tell you a lot about the probability of any given game X to release on the system

Well in that case, that means that they are selling decently enough and driving enough business to warrant being ported to Switch. If the audience wasn't there, then they wouldn't get ported.

All of those MTX-fests existed in the Wii U days, but outside of NBA 2K11, it wasn't getting those games.
