I think you have to look at the sales of the console before making a big decision like that. If console sales are very low in the first year, then does it really make sense to put ffxiv on the Switch.

If the Switch doesnt have good 3rd party support and is only getting carried by the big 3 does it really make sense to appeal to a lower paying audience?

System holds a 2hr 30 minute charge playing skyrim, and that is a standalone title, perhaps half or roughly 2 hrs for online games.
