I think there is more hype around Skyrim so it will probably sell better



Skyrim. Most Switch early adopters will have no genuine interest in Fifa but a portable Skyrim is right down their alley

Also that strange niche of people who only buy Nintendo consoles will definitely have more interest in Skyrim.



Skyrim is my vote.

So, we hae the wirst week data of Skyrim's sales.

Around 150k. Not bad, it had a better first week than FIFA. Now let's see if Skyrim can catch up to FIFA.

Hmm a battle between a video game series based on the least popular major sport in America, soccer (which matters, because America is important for sales due to Europe not really being interested in Nintendo), and the (insert high number) released version of a game that came out years ago.

Sorry, didn't mean to start out at Super Saiyan Troll level...



Think I just topped 200 hours of Skyrim on the Switch... I guess half a decade was enough to get me obsessed with it again lol

I thought the lack of mods (I generally wind up with like ~100 mods lol) would bother me, but it really doesn't... there's just an enormous amount of stuff to do.

One complaint I have is that there are quests and bugs which have existed since the original launch, through the remaster, and now to a port six years later (that seems borderline criminal), but otherwise I've enjoyed it.

The incredible ease of just picking up the Switch, playing it for a bit, then hitting home and power to leave it in standby has really helped endear me to it all over again, especially as it leaves my laptop and TV free for myself or others to use at the same time heh

A lot will depend on whether this remains the only FIFA game on the system or we get a yearly release.



Quite surprised that FIFA has sold nearly 60k in Japan.

When does Skyrim release in Japan? It would be interesting to compare the two releases in that market.
