UK is a weak market for Nintendo, everyone knows this. Wasn't even thread worthy.

Yes, but still this result is pathetic. EA will not be pleased.

On the other hand Lego World sells 44% on Switch and is tehrefore the platform with the best sales. OP failed to point that out.

Shows that EA really don't know how to address Switch-users.

Well, let's be real for a second:

UK is Nintendo's weakest market.
FIFA is by far the mostly sold in Europe, which is again, the weakest market for Nintendo.
Lastly, the dudebro audience are mostly Playstation owners.

That's simply incorrect. UK is far from Nintendo's weakest market. PS/Xbox may do better than Nintendo consoles here, but it's still a long long way from being a weak market for them.

Well, it is obvious that bigger and more wealthy countries will be better markets for luxury products. But what most here mean is weakest market in terms of market share. And that is an intertesting point, especially if we see the percentage of sales of a game for different platforms. Take that into account for Lego worlds 44% too.

I thought Switch owners were desperately needing games for the system..... What am I missing?

Yeah, LOL, thanks for reminding me to this argument. That's probably the reason why Lego worlds did best on Switch, because no other games. FIFA, well... look, a three-headed monkey!

I know its not Nintendos strongest market but still that performance is worse than i could have ever imagined, the word pathetic can be used here.

Let's be honest who expected something different from this?

No, honestly this is terrible. 10% were more to expect in this market with this games. And don't make it look like we have to expect stuff to sell bad on Switch, look at Lego Worlds.

If that's the case, then EA has really hurt its sales in the long run. I don't know if they've distributed a bigger share of copies elsewhere, but if they haven't, then most people are going to buy it where their friends do. Then again, it might be part of EA's plan to have an excuse to pull another "unprecedented partnership".
It definitely seems they are low stocks for Fifa 18 for Switch.

Amazon is actually sold out of FIFA Switch and GAME is doing 'one person customer'

 

LOL; EA is only creating 'artificial demand'!

But look at LegoWorlds.... 44%!

Switch users showing taste & class, and getting a non fifa game instead :p

Well if people are wondering why Lego worlds is so high on marketshare it is because it released in september while the other version released in March this year.

Awww, but thanks for pointing this out, I wasn't aware of this.
