Switch software is under tracked by 7-10 mill. Nintendo has sales at 86.9 million while VGC had it at 60 million.

Does Nintendo include digital in their numbers?

Hmm, interesting week.

Crash first week:
1,034,702 PS4
138,741 Switch
86,401 XBox One

Wolfenstein first week:
206,705 PS4
82,745 XBox One
31,708 Switch

Ys VIII first week:
45,735 Vita
28,732 PS4
23,530 Switch

Minecraft sold second week on Switch more than first week.

Super Bomberman R for PS4 and XBox One already has dropped from the charts. That one was much stronger on Switch.

FIFA numbers should currently be boosted by the championship, that was in the middle at the time of this chart.

So, the difference is probably accounted for.

Thats because the US release date in the database was wrong.
NA first week sales are included in its second week.

Ah, that's the reason. Still sales increased in europe and other regions.

I really don't get all the negativity regarding Crash on Switch's numbers.

If it had released day and date with PS4 that'd be one thing, but given it's a year late, this is a solid opening. The trilogy's historical base is on Playstation, that base has had a whole year to pick it up on PS4 if they wanted it, and for most of that time it wasn't even announced for Switch so there was no reason to hold out. 

It's opened similarly to Skyrim and FIFA 18 on Switch, and those are on the brink of passing the million mark. Crash will likely hit 7 digits on Switch as well.



The Crew 2 numbers are way down compared to the first,but digital sales are obviously bigger now than back in 2014. Wonder why the racing genre always sells poorly other than the exclusives GT and Forza. Do most gamers only grab 1 racer and its their exclusives?

Only on games that has a physical release.

Digital only releases is not included.

Does the 86.9 include digital sales? And Sales from digital only games (Indie games)? 

 

Great hold for MTA!!! 

It includes digital copies from games available at retail, but not digital only games.

So yeah, I agree software is probably undertracked, unless there's a 31% digital ratio on the console.

Did VGC forget to track NieR X1 at its release week?

Nier is digital only on Xbox for some reason
