“For Disgaea 5, Switch sold very well. It sold just under 200k units in the west. Maybe 40 percent of these people already have the PS4 version. Why do they buy the same game again? Because it’s the function of a handheld that the Switch has. And Sony decided to withdraw from the PS Vita market. The memory size limitation of the Vita is just one gigabyte, right? But Disgaea is 8 GB. So Disgaea fans want to play on a handheld, but there is no handheld Disgaea 5 on a Sony format. So this is a perfect platform. We can play at home and we can play outside using the handheld function of the Switch. That is why the Nintendo Switch platform is growing naturally.”

I totally get why they wouldn't mention it, but Disgaea 3 and 4 on Vita had some pretty annoying lags in the item world. I mean I own a vita and not yet a Switch and I was happy they moved to Switch for that reason alone.
Also glad to see D5 selling well. A lot of fans had doubts about the future of the series before its release, but the game features, ergonomics and overall playability are way over the rest of the franchise, and it deserves this success.
