Why do companies still not port to switch?

Seriously, the Xbox is selling so poorly that it makes no sense to ignore the switch

gotta take your meds bro

probably too expensive to make different version for switch and then nobody buys it

it still has more sales
why bank one a console that's clearly in third place

Because while the PS and Xbox are essentially the same thing in 2 different cases the Switch simply isn’t powerful enough to run games like that at the same level. Developers probably have to essentially remake a good chunk of the game to make it run on switch for an audience that may not even be as into FPS

Switchfags only buy bing, zelda and trannimal crossdressing

Did you forget crysis for switch? Dark souls? Call of duty still uses that old quake engine if i'm not mistaken, how hard is it to port it over

Why is it everyone else's responsibility to butcher and spend a lot of money to port their games for Nintendo's hardware and not Nintendo for just not making shitty potato-tier hardware?

cuz its a weak bitch ps3.5

>mostly casuals use the switch
>the switch hardware is dogshit, from the controllers to the device itself, games become technical messes more often than not
>waste of resources where they could be adding content
>Nintendo online is dogshit
Why waste money on an audience that doesnt play games? Im honestly okay with the Switch soaking up the mobile phone gamers, I barely use mine and it will keep people from bitching about games being too hard.

Fuck, look at Capcom, theyve been thriving since ditching Nintendo.

Switch cattle only buys first party

>last gen games

Yeah and dark souls on switch was better than the Ps4 and Xbox ports anyways
Oh and Both Dooms on switch run well

because the hardware is shit
you see how many games struggle to hit 30fps on PS4
it's 10 times worse for the switch

Crysis is a 15 year old game, and DS looks like shit and ran like shit, not that hard to have it run on a Switch.

Crysis still makes some computers shit themselves, granted those PCs suck but still

it's not made for multicores

that is fair but my point still stands

Switch would be harder to port to than Xbox. It's not clear if it would sell at all on Switch, unlike Xbox only exists as a Call of Duty box for retards.

It’s been possible though they’ve had to compromise a bit with resolution, but going into the next generation there’s no way they’ll be able to port anything to Switch.

Probably because the Switch is underpowered, so porting anything besides PS3/360 ports would take more effort than what is worth.

Because the Switch is an oversized 7th gen handheld pretending to be an 8th gen console with a docking feature. It lacks the power to handle current gen games without sacrificing details, framerates, resolution, or all of the above in cases like DOOM and Wolfenstein. On top of that, the only shit that actually sells on the Switch are indies, ports, and Nintendo's first party offerings. Given that it's sold over 60 million units in 3 years, that's all it really needs apparently.

Why can't Nintendo just make a powerful console? If they really HAVE to be unique or they won't sell consoles, how come Sony seems to do just fine? I mean they've sold like 110M+ so it seems not being unique doesn't matter all that much.

>both
Eternal for Switch isn't out yet and even then they had to sacrifice A LOT for it to work

>Yeah and dark souls on switch was better than the Ps4 and Xbox ports anyways
Except it runs at half the frame rate with a visual downgrade
>Oh and Both Dooms on switch run well
At LESS than half the frame rate of PS4 and Xbox

Because they're cheap.
That's it.
Want to know why they have so much money?
There's your answer.
Since the Gamecube they've stopped attempting to push technical boundaries and are just settling for the bare minimum that people will put up with and this board will suck their dick to oblivion for it.

Because making an xbox port of a PS4 game is trivially easy. Modern engines let you pick a different build target, hit build, and it will spit out a more or less 100% working game. You do a quick regression test and you're good. One developer and two QA guys could do it in a couple weeks. Making a Switch port, however, would also involve having to make new assets with reduced fidelity to deal with the reduced resources of the Switch. Considering people only buy first party games or indie games on the Switch, it's not really worth the effort for almost no additional sales.

it's a waste of time and money

it's like with the wii, underpowered gimmick hardware + casuals only buying nintendo shit and just dance

But user PS4 and Xbone are also gimmick underpowered hardware

thats why the next gen switch is coming out

Dark Souls is a PS3 game and always had mediocre graphics.

The switch isn't powerful enough to handle most games without a ground up build/rebuild. And even then you'll end up with a mobile game with a rebuild.
No reason to spend the time and resources on porting halo to the switch just for it to end up looking like halo one on the original Xbox with shitter textures.

They are so far into upgrading the quake 3 engine that it practically isn't the same anymore
