^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.

Then why weren't they on the 3DS and Wii U? Why didn't the NBA mandate that EA must put NBA Live '19 on the Switch?

Why don't you show your sources?

And yes, AAA Switch games are watered down compared to other modern consoles. Nice burn, you really got me there. The point was that those FIFA "Legacy Editions" weren't just simply the same game with lowered specs, they were versions of the game running on an old engine that just featured roster updates and minor changes. That's like if EA put out a version of Madden still running on whatever engine they were using in the PS360 days and just updated rosters and jerseys. That's less even less incentive to get the Switch version than normal.
