Why would a game developer release a massive game on a smaller platform before bringing it to smartphones, where the market is much bigger? The smartphone gaming audience is huge compared to something like the Switch!

Honestly, I've never even seen a Switch in real life, but this reminds me of people speculating that GTA 6's minimum requirements will be a GTX 3050. Some folks live in a bubble where they only see the latest and greatest tech, completely disconnected from the real market—where the real money is made.
