2) Square Enix (27/29/33/34/41/45) : 6
3) Koei Tecmo (15/37/40/47/49) : 5
4) Ubisoft (7/17/19/43) ; Warner Bros (11/21/22/32) : 4
6) Nicalis (20/26/39) : 3
7) Capcom (10/16) ; NIS (14/38) ; Bandai Namco (18/35) : 2
10) Konami (8) ; EA (12) ; Sega (13) ; Activision (23) ; Marvelous (24) ; Telltale (25) ; MLB AM (36) ; Rising Star Games (44) ; Alliance Digital Media (50) ; Microids (48) ; Night Hawk (46) ; THQ Nordic (42) ; Maximum Games (31) ; Gametrust (30) ; 2K (28) : 1

Top retail publishers in total sales (VGC) :

1) Nintendo : 15.23M
2) Ubisoft : 0.97M
3) Warner Bros : 0.59M
4) Konami : 0.53M
5) Capcom : 0.52M
6) EA : 0.26M
7) Sega : 0.25M
8) Koei Tecmo ; Square Enix : 0.24M
10) NIS : 0.22M
11) Nicalis : 0.21M
12) Bandai Namco : 0.19M

19) MLB AM : 0.03M
20) Rising Star Games ; Night Hawk ; THQ Nordic : 0.01M
23) Alliance Digital Media ; Microids : 0.00M

These numbers are really interesting. The Switch needs definitely more successful third party games. It is quite one sided.

I think the numbers will get more interesting when data comes in for November where 3rd Party releases like Skyrim, Doom, and L.A. Noire came out.

Yeah, Nintendo = 15.23M ; Others = 4.76M

But Mandolore is right :

Numbers indeed will become more relevant after holiday seasons. Nintendo will have a huge lead, but I think Bethesda or Ubisoft will do very decent numbers...

So far, we can't say third party games released on the system have been very high profile (outside of Mario + Rabbids and FIFA)...

Yes I am also really curious to see how successful the 3rd party games will be that released in November on the Switch.

Update November 11th 2017 :

8 new games in the list : Sonic Forces, Doom, Farming Simulator 2017, Snipperclips, 3 Musou games. Best opening for Sonic Forces with 120k, Doom with 80k...

Weekly Top sellers were : 1) Super Mario Odyssey ; 2) Sonic Forces ; 3) Mario Kart 8

There are now 62 switch retail games in the list.

Number of 100k sellers : 26 (+1)
Number of 200k sellers : 15
Number of 500k sellers : 8
Number of 1M sellers : 6
Number of 2M sellers : 4
Number of 5M sellers : 0

Mario is impressive. Good opening for Sonic, I expected better from Doom.

Ranking for games has been fixed, all of them are in the list now ! Good job to whoever did that !!
There is a problem with two of the musou games which have been released in Japan 11/09/17. They are referenced as obscure japanese 3DS games (even in the Switch best selling list)

The two games are Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires and Samurai Warriors: Spirit of Sanada and are referenced as : Miracle Tunes! Game de Tune Up! Tabun! and Cake-ya San Monogatari: Ooishii Sweets o Tsukurou!

I am not sure who is who, do we know which one sell the most from MC numbers ?
