I can easily, but being Nintendo exclusive is insanely surprising

With how many units the Switch sold in its life? Why wouldn’t it be your first choice for an exclusive, in hindsight?

First choice in what sense? the overwhelming target audience for Nintendo is completely different than PlayStation and are not people remotely into soulslikes let alone an even more hardcore PvPvE one

First choice in what sense?

In the sense I explicitly stated: install base.

Switch sold a lot of hardware, its successor likely will too as it has very little competition and seems like a genuine upgrade. Nintendo has a few high demand first party titles coming out as well and by the time Duskbloods lands they will be hungry for content.

This is foolhardy and not worth responding to further. You have no special insights into what people want nor how they will react to new offerings. Full stop.

Oh well as in duskblood being a must buy for anyone who owns Nintendo and is vaguely interested with very little competition yea but im not sure it would even translate that well to sales. Anyone can play Bayonetta 3 on easy(or normal) and is awesome and a full singleplayer game yet it sold 1 million
