I think being a late port impacts the sales more than scores or graphics or whatever. Given, some late ports on Switch did better than on their earlier platforms. But not all. I personally think Skyrim might resonate better with Switch-userbase than Doom. So let's see, the two games have on PS4 (as point of reference): 2.7M for Skyrim and 2.2M for Doom. So let's say 20% for Doom and 40% for Skyrim would put my hopeful expectations on Switch at a little above 1M for Skyrim and at 450K for Doom. Maybe my expectations are too high, maybe too low, I don't really know, but I'm pretty sure Skyrim does better relatively.

If the handheld-game is reviewed on itself, the graphic bar is not put that high. But Doom released on home console platforms and it did so before the Switch release. So comparisons are inevitable.

How things factor in is dependent on the game in question. For Doom as a fast shooter I understand the importance of the frame-rate. I think the Skyrim-scores will be more in line with other platforms.

The Xbox One is 87.
Playstation 4 is 85.
PC is 85.

Switch is currently 80.

Interested to see if it gets higher as it is technically the worst version of the game. (The Xbox One should be below the Playstation 4 and PC as well for that very same reason.)

I don't think it is that easy. It strongly depends on the game. I personally think that MonHun 3G is better on WiiU than on 3DS, although portability and Streetpass are cool for that game. But in the game you look at things (not only monsters, also harvestable spots) from some distance, and the smaller resolution really hurts. I made an arena fight, where I could in the beginning just hear the monster but not see it, until I spotted the two moving pixels. That's just not cool.

For other games the lost resolution doesn't matter that much. So it really depends on the game.

Also, a real-time action-gameplay like MonHun and also Doom is hurting portability anyways. I can play it in a hotel room or so, but on a train where I have to look for the right exit it is probably a bit hurting. Zelda has slower gameplay and as long as I'm not in a bigger fight I can sense my surroundings still. For MonHun I have at least the time at the village organizing my stuff, which allows to take in my surroundings. I doubt Doom gives me much such moments. So probably it works less well portable. I still like I can play stuff on vacations or travel if I'm in my bed. I just can't take my WiiU with me, but I can do so with the Switch.

LOL, half the thread is whining the game gets lower scores on Switch, you whine because one reviewer gives a higher score.

Reviews are subjective, and Switch-version has clearly downsides and clearly upsides too it. It may be very strongly a thing of personal tastes, which ones are more important for you.

To add to this (I just tried the game) even though the game is portable, the joycon are not ideal for playing the game which kind of hurts the portable aspect of the game. I mean, it is playable but it certainly is much better and more fun to play using a pro controller.

Skyrim will 100% sell better than Doom on Switch, a couple of days ago on the UK eshop Skryim was already in the top selling downloads charts, even though it doesnt release for a week, yet Doom was only a couple of days from release and wasnt in the top 20. That's a pretty good indicator.

Good score. I honestly feel like when a game is a late port/remaster/etc, it is bound to get a lower score.

Lets use Skyrim Special Edition as an example. Enhanced visuals, shorter loading times, and mods make the special edition objectively a better game than the original, yet the score is significantly lower.

To be fair, Doom is a game best played at 60fps. Even though 30fps is by no means a dealbreaker, its still a somewhat of a drawback.

That doesn't hurt anything, the buttom layout is the same, you just gotta get used to it. Its also bettert to play Breath of The Wild (and most Switch games) with the pro controller, that doesn't mean the joycons hurt their portable aspect.
