I know that, but releasing at the same time makes it no port for me, as it obviously was developed together. Persona 5 for PS4 is a port for you too, because as you know it's a PS3 game. What is with COD and stuff like that, if we don't know which version is lead?

Zeruda BotW is a port, just because you paid $300 for a new system doesnt make it any less of a port, I know you're trying to justify your money spent so I understand you taking issue with the term "port" but it's a Wii U game.
I find it hilarious how people act like it's a Switch game and all those people are suddenly huge Nintendo fans, while us with Wii Us had been waiting on it since 2013.

Sorry, I take no offense to the term port, as you think. I just have obviously a different meaning to the term. For me Persona 5 and Zelda BOTW are multiplats, for you these games are ports in the version for PS4 and Swittch. Whatever makes you happy. Port in my understanding is some platform added after release, but whatever makes you happy. I only mouthed that I obviously have a different understanding of the words and have the word multiplat in my vocabulary. I didn't intended to offend you by having a slightly different vocabulary, I only voiced the difference I saw.
Also you have to understand, that I'm a software developer (not games though) and every team so far that released a software on multiple platforms the same time has developed the game for all supported platforms in the same codebase at the same time, so it is impossible to identify the lead platform. So porting for me is adding the support of a new pplatform after completion of the software. I don't know if Atlus targeted PS3 or PS4 internally with Persona or if they did these version on the same codebase. I assume the last, as developing separate codebases for different platforms is most of the time a pretty stupid decision. Same for BOTW, I don't know if WiiU, Switch or both were main. Hence my choice of words.
This said, I respect your choice of words and also your assumption without more knowledge, that PS3/WiiU were main.
