There are games in that score range that sell fine actually, but maybe the game would've been half decent if the studio head was focused on gameplay instead of wanking off to Unreal Engine 5 features that no one cared about. Development priorities matter especially when you don't have the luxury of a proven IP license like a Harry Potter or some shit. 

Lol.  I can only laugh at this point.  So now your argument is bad games should sell well?

DD2 isn't struggling.  Maybe because it has good gameplay?  

I mean if your argument is gameplay matters and games need to be more than just graphics...  I don't suspect anyone here is going to disagree.

Hogwarts is a good game.  Spider 2 is a good game.  Tekken, SF6, DD2.....  all selling well.

Your insistence on cherry picking to force fit an argument is goofy.  

Hogwarts Legacy is actually proof positive of a big developer putting in work to make sure the Switch got a version of the game not too far off from the OG release and it's been selling like gang busters on Switch every month since release. 

That's an example of not letting stupid tech biases get in the way of smart business, Hogwarts Legacy remains every month in the Circana charts one of the top 5/6 Switch sellers even though we're now several months past its release, whereas on the PS5/XBox charts it's not in the top 10 any longer so the odds are good that the Switch version has been doing a lot of the heavy lifting for the game having a second wind sales wise. 

Other developers could learn a thing or two from Warner Bros, the general audience does not care that the game doesn't look exactly the same as the other versions.
