"easier" is not easy. Don't expect many ports. I tell you, don't. I know now is the time where hope rules, it always before a console launch, and NVidia is not helping here either, but from a technical point of view, there is no magic involved. |
Even "easier" is good thing. Numbers of ports will mostly depend actually from how much Switch is popular and how much actually sells, if Switch become popular it will have bigger number of ports of course than if its sell bad and has low instal base.

That is simply natural. The question is how far behind you have to drag down a game tech wise untill it starts resembling something entirely else. Case in point, Dead Rising was ported to the Wii and it was pure trash. Hopefully the NS will not plagued by quite as a large power difference. |
Wii was incomparabile less powerful than PS3/Xbox 360, while Switch will have around half of XB1 power, also Wii was older tech than PS3/Xbox360 (Wii is basically overclocked GC), so definitely not exactly good comparison.

Wow..... really? Let me tell you what you just said. You just said that because planes are so common nowadays that almost all car drivers know how to fly a plane. And after that bombshell you claim that Nvidia in Tegra is the same as Nvidia in PCs. Why can't you just accept that, as many people in this thread have already pointed out, what Huang says here is marketing blubber disconnected from reality. It's still gonna be a significant effort to port for Switch and architecture is just the first of three hurdles developers have to overcome. |
Yours comparison doesn't make any sense at all because games developers are developing for different architectures and techs all the time and usually they are very familiar with most most common techs and architectures on market, while less than 1% car drivers know to fly the plane.
"Why can't you just accept that, as many people in this thread have already pointed out, what Huang says here is marketing blubber disconnected from reality"!? So beacuse you and few other people said that "what Huang says here is marketing blubber disconnected from reality", we all need to agree with you!? :D
Simply fact is that modern Switch hardware and tech makes things easier compared to Wii or Wii U for instance (definitely is more than 10% less difficult than porting for Wii U), but from some reason you have problem with that.
Also why your posts sounds like you are angry, calm down a little..
