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

^This. Comparing a years-late port of games like Witcher 3 or obviously watered down ports that advertise it as such right on the box like "Legacy Edition" FIFA is straight-up strawmanning. Compare the Switch to games it got day and date with other platforms like Mortal Kombat 11.

Speaking of, the Switch keeps getting every new MK, every  new NBA 2K, every new MLB The Show, and so on, whereas the Wii U did not. So clearly some big publishers are satisfied with their sales.

NBA and MLB are mandated to be on all platforms from the license holder. And how do you expect a Switch port to not be watered down? Only if they released a watered down version for everyone.

NBA and MLB weren't on WiiU, so clearly there are exception to *all* platforms.

And is Monster Hunter Rise watered down? Or Zelda? Or Xenoblade? Clearly you can do good games on Switch.

One thing I overlooked before: multiplatform games that do release on Switch usually do better there than XBox. Yet XBox gets all the third-party directly without asterisks. So it has nothing to do with publishers making fewer sales there.
