What is going to sell better on the Switch, Skyrim or FIFA 18?

The Elder Scrolls V. Skyrim. 193 44.06%
 
FIFA 18. 160 36.53%
 
They will practically sell the same. 20 4.57%
 
The rabbids will consume us all. 65 14.84%
 
Total:438

Skyrim, because its awesome..  And because the FIFA port on the switch is crap.

Another week, another comparaison.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

They're both close to selling 500k at the same time, Fifa 18 will be slightly ahead of it at this rate.



In 1 or 2 weeks Skyrim will already be ahead.

I don't know if I really should be, but I guess I'm surprised that fifa is going to handily clear 500k and keep climbing.  I never had doubts on Skyrim having a decent sell through...but I guess that's just due to my personal interests and bias and not looking at fifa objectively.

I hope skyrim reaches at least 1 million so it could be used as a reference by bethesda and others that it is worth to release some ports on it. I have np idea what would be tue breakeven number for skyrim on NS but maybe 1 million would be already a profitable number.
Next why not fallout 4 and wolfenstein?

Well, Wolfenstein is technically coming to the Switch. They announced the release of Wolfenstein The New Colossus at the same time they announced Doom. It's just coming much, much later than the other versions.

Many thanks man, I didnt know it. Thats some great news since Im thinking about getting the switch.

I dont know if it is worth it to bethesda since it seems doom sold very poorly on switch...

It's going to be interesting to see Bethesda's support of the system from here on out. Skyrim was probably a cheap port and it will reach a million sold without too much problem, ans it will sell even better when the price of the game becomes the same as the other versions (the game gets frequently discounted on PC and the other consoles). Doom has not been as successful, and that is a shame considering the porting team probably spent quite a lot of time on that version, but considering Doom hasn't sold that well on the other consoles, I guess they'll be fine. Wolfensteing TNC worries me, because it doesn't even have a clear release date, and it will probably have the same performance problems as the Doom port did. I guess that, moving forward, we might get a port of the inevitable Fallout 3/New Vegas HD remasters, and maybe a late port of that Quake Champions game. I doubt we'll get TES VI or something like that.

I totally agree. I think considering the platform, big open world slow RPGs are a great choice because being a handheld helps a lot to play those games on the go, one side quest per day. Action games like doom I think people will always prefer a console experience, higher framerate and resolution.

But yeah, I think skyrim will easily reach 1 million on switch and will be very profitable. Myself for example, I never played it and will probably be the first game I will buy. Fallout 3/New Vegas could be high quality pots running at 1080/720 easily. Fallout 4 I dont think so. But yeah, lets see what bethesda will do. I hope they can keep supporting the platform. I dont care they release only ports, I love them.
