Did any third party AAA game sell well in Switch?

Monster Hunter Rise is one example. Hogwarts Legacy another.

The Witcher 3 and Dying Light have performed well also.

So?? Where is the goalpost moving or lies???

Because title of OP isn't a legal document, it's conversationally suggesting Switch 2 might not get support from the main third parties we are used to seeing, and hip indies.

Intent of OP was not to suggest Switch 2 may not get literally a majority of all third party in existence, including the massive number of devs on steam that put out a game that doesn't make a profit. Which is a staggering number.

Everyone knows this, unless you have to move the goalpost in desperation.

Is that the majority? Where are all the indies?

Indies are not considered third party.

Cyberpunk too.

If you are so sure of that, good for you.

At least I can say the intent in MY post about the majority was literally about all, because why not, it's simple logic.

It might be time to get help.

Cyberpunk too.

They were asking about the original Switch.

...from third parties on SW2, oh wait...

Switch 2 could have all the major third parties, and it would be technically factually true to say it has "a fraction of a percent of all developers".

It would be disingenuous to do so, because we assume OP is referring to third parties that matter, on the basis that no one would waste your time with a meaningless prediction like "console will not get majority of infinite one man shows flooding Steam", yeah we already know that.

In this scenario it would make sense to say that PlayStation 5 doesn't have a majority of third party support -conversationally ludicrous and only technically true when counting outfits no one cares about, with no valuable point but to litigate it.

 

[rodrigolfp]

third parties that matter

counting outfits no one cares about

Sure, sure. Whatever fits your argument.

 

[BlackTron]

Sure, sure. Whatever fits your argument.

Can I ask you what the point would be of listing developers or even asking the question if it was literally ALL developers? Don't we already know the answer to that question is no for any plaform if you are counting app store and steam bros that only sell a few copies but count towards the total technical number?

The only point I can see would be to fail to mention that, so people conflate the metric with the implied one.

Honestly I don't want to keep giving you opportunities to make yourself look this bad so I'm out

What is the point of saying most/majority if it is not literally including all but a "whatever fits my narrative" all??

Its missing Magic pussy 3, which is what rodrigolfp really needs for a complete library.

Because the OP was talking about the games shown at SOP/SGF and specified AAA titles in later posts. The thread wasn't really about indies.

So he should be more specific since the first the post.
