Awesome. It's one of my favourite gaming series in the last few years, pretty consistent all along. Glad to see that Ninty gamers are supporting the game!

May you sell the best on the Switch



The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?

Tbh, I hope it will sell well in every platform. But if I have to bet... I'll put my faith on the Switch. Because the game feels more oriented to Ninty fandom tastes generally speaking. No offense intended.

This is interesting ... because ...

It pretty much confirms that Switch's eshop sales are somewhat comparable to Xbox's and Playstations. This game only debuted at like #14 on Switch and yet the sales are a lot better than expected? Steamworld Dig 1 sold really well already. Of course the Switch's eshop is mainly first party and indies, so it wouldn't be crazy to assume that the sales are amazing. But it is interesting.

Check out the charts now. It's 4th in my country (well, it climb to the 3rd right now XD), and in most of them you can see it in the top 5 almost for certain. It's just that the Switch tracking system, if I'm not mistaken, tracks the sales for the last 2 weeks, and the game came out just recently so it had a lot to overcome. It climb very fast though.

Ah, really? That's good ... but sucks ! Because now I don't know if digital sales on Switch can be compared to other systems. Would be nice if we could have official numbers!

Yep, that'd be pretty interesting. But we won't know for certain in a long time. It seems that they're happy since they thought that the sales were wrong and was a mistake XD. So we could assume that they surpass their expectations. 

I also find interesting that Thimbleweed Park is charting pretty awesome. Not sure about other countries, but it's 2nd right now! It appears that indie developers might find a nice home on the Switch.

Wow, that’s great to hear. I’m pretty sure the first Dig game did very well for them so they must be pleased.
