Also with Minecraft releasing for Switch and potentially more Vita-audience titles getting Switch versions (Fate / Extella and Nights of Azure), are we seeing the final nails in the Vita's coffin?
Sony have been picking off Vita's corpse since 2015 (or was it TGS 2014? Whenever they announced Estival Versus and Ys VIII for PS4). Only makes sense for Nintendo to do the same with Switch.
Switch version of Minecraft is obviously going to take over the mantle of leggy version from Vita. I'm more interested to see how Nights of Azure 2 does. It's a good barometer to see how the audience is moving - I know the first game isn't on Switch, but it'll be useful for show how the "high end portable-loving otaku audience" is doing on the console so far.
Plus it's a very similar breakdown to the last game, which was PS3/PS4/Vita. PS3 was on the dying console and sold a nominal amount; PS4/Vita went toe-to-toe. Switch should step into the gap that Vita filled last time, with Vita being the PS3 version.
