And now Kingdom Come: Deliverance has a release date for the Switch. Look at that, another impossible port that the publisher doesn't have any contractual obligations to release for a console that supposedly no one buys third party games for. The game industry must love wasting its time and money, because the Switch keeps getting games that you all keep saying it has no business getting.

I mentioned earlier in the thread that if we're going to make sales comparisons, it should be for games that released at the same time as other versions.

I couldn't find sales data for Immortals: Fenyx Rising, but plenty of sites quote Ubisoft as being pleased with sales of the Switch version: https://gamerant.com/immortals-fenyx-nintendo-switch-sales/

Starlink: Battle for Atlas flopped super hard, but that doesn't change the fact that it fared far better on the Switch than other platforms (boosted by having access to the Star Fox IP): https://www.vgchartz.com/article/393757/starlink-battle-for-atlas-sells-an-estimated-87089-units-first-week-at-retail/

Mortal Kombat 11 was the best-selling game on Switch in the month it released. I'm still going to assume that it didn't sell as well as other consoles and PC, but WB felt good enough about MK11 sales to give us MK1 about the same time as other versions: https://nintendoeverything.com/warner-bros-exec-initially-had-some-concerns-that-mortal-kombat-11-was-too-mature-for-switch/
