On PS and Xbox maybe. 

Yeah, Bayonetta 3, Shin Megmi Tensei V or Persona 5 are just some average games

Review wise they may be critically acclaimed but sales wise are pretty average to below average.

So two big budget 3d games sold 1 million on it only, wonder how much a much smaller 2d game sold on it?  They are funding by MS, you would think MS fund them to see it come out on playstation? That is like expecting BloodBorne come out on Xbox 1 for better sales. Look at I Am Setsuna sales number on ps4/vita, combined them together and still much worse than Bravely Default on 3ds or Octopath Traveler on Switch. You don't think it them on Xbox would sell better than on ps4, right?

"top notch third party exclusives" is more about quality, not sales. If you want sales, just lock a Call of Duty game or a Fifa game is already enough

I appreciate your Futurama reference.

OT: Switch 3rd party support in general is improving as it should given the userbase. But lets not exagerate how amazing Switch support has become.

So now games skipping platforms is a good thing for the consumer?  Oddly, enough, I don't remember seeing much of that sentiment in Persona threads.  

Don't forget the out-of-left-field announcement that Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is coming exclusively to Switch!

@OP What we're seeing here is all the AA developers slowly moving from 3DS to Switch. Octopath was made by the same team that did Bravely Default. SMTV is the SMTIV, and SMTIV Apocalypse team. Yokai Watch was a 3DS series. Thanks to a trailer from earlier this year we know that Etrian Odyssey series is Switchbound as well.

The five tombstones represent the 5 EO games on 3DS. The next stage is Switch.

Seeing Nintendo's library finally merged onto one system is such a wonderful thing. We're getting Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, Poke'mon, Luigi's Mansion, Octopath, Shin Megami Tensei, Etrian Odyssey, Yokai Watch 4*, and many other great games. Hopefully Nintendo releases another top down Zelda, for Switch as well. If Nintendo went ahead with two seperate systems instead of the Switch, we'd be missing these games from the Wii U 2, or whatever you want to call it. They would all be on the 3DS-2.

*Okay I'm not exactly all that hyped for Yokai Watch 4, but Level 5 has made some awesome games in the past.

Oh and BTW I agree that exclusives define a platform.

Honestly whenever I hear people whining about platform exclusives I declare them entitled gamers, not say, people who dislike the concept of Diablo Immortal. I mean I may find Horizon and Spiderman interesting, but I don't call them anti-consumer for not being on Switch.
