It seems to me that a Switch version is about extending the growth of the IP as a means to returning back to the main series on PS consoles.

There's no PS4 version, presumably because there's not a large enough audience left to migrate to PS5 for the future of the series.

There's no Xbox version because... Lols I guess. No reason to put their stuff on a competing system.

I doubt we'll see the mainline games move from PS and PC, at least not on any immediate timeframe I feel.

something like half of active playstation users are still on ps4.
There is 60m+ ps4 users, yet to upg to ps5.

maybe sony wants a few games to push people to want to upgrade.

im just surprised if this is one of those.

Without any extra data it's hard to say what these PS4 users comprise of.

Considering how PS5 heavy the sales of Sony cross-gen games were, I don't imagine there's remotely a large enough buying audience on the platform. And so I doubt something like Lego Horizon pushes ppl to upgrade to a PS5. If you aren't buying PS4 games now, what makes you a PS5 game purchaser? 

Most of the current PS4 audience is, imho, compromised of those in either yearly releases (like EA football or CoD) or playing F2P stuff like Fortnite.

But of course, that's just how I surmise the situation haha
