Like I keep trying to say, if Sony saw the Switch as a threat to them they wouldn't be releasing Lego Horizon adventures on there, like they aren't releasing it on Xbox or PS4. They clearly don't feel threatened by the Switch. No-one has given me an explanation for this, other than trying to reverse-logic me by using Xbox as an example , even though they have explicitly stated they aren't trying to "out-console" anyone anymore anyway.  

The thing is, that Xbox sales do not justify Sony porting games on Xbox even if they wanted to. There's likely a large overlap of ownership between PS5 and newest Xbox anyway. When it comes to Switch and Windows, there's really nothing Sony can do about them.  The thing is, that the market has changed from what it was 20 years ago, because game development is so expensive. It's increasingly harder for even Sony to justify a single platform development, even if the platform was their own. 

Thank you for saying this. This is what I just said above to someone but they just told me I was being disingenuous and arguing in bad faith, even though Xbox sales have fallen off a cliff. With the XBS consoles alone maybe the port isn't worth it but, the game could also run on Xbone and PS4. That's about 180 million consoles right there. Surely put it on those too? Why put it on Switch but leave out 200 million consoles (Xbone,XBS,PS4). There's plenty of sales you could achieve there. PS4 still has about 50 million MAU alone!
