You always urge the same argument, don't you?
Yep, you're right that the Switch install base is smaller than the PS4 / Xbox One install base but you should also consider that the Switch only has 3-4 big games available right now while on the other side PS4 / Xbox One have dozens available games. At the moment there is a much bigger diversity on the PS4 / Xbox One. Just look at the PS4 line-up. So many big games coming up every month, it is nearly impossible to keep up with them as a PS4 player. For example imagine a 4.5M install base for PS4 in the UK, 200k of them would buy game X, 300k of them would buy game Y, 500k of them would buy game Z. Thisdiversity is the big difference between PS4 and Switch. With the lack of big games on Switch, a lot of Switch owners will have to buy Splatoon 2 to have a game to play on the Switch. That's not the case with the PS4 install base.

You really need to calm down, we dont know how much exactly Crash Bandicoot or Splatoon 2 sold this week, fact that Crash sold better than Splatoon doenst mean one crached, espacily when Switch has still very low instal base in UK, probably not bigger than around 200k while PS4 has instal base of few millions, so in order that some Switch game be number one need to have very strong attach rate.
Also this is a offical: "Splatoon 2’ outperforms the original becoming the 3rd biggest ever Switch launch, behind Zelda and Mario".

We are comparing the third week of Crash Bandicoot with the first week of Splatoon 2, and if a third week of a game is bigger than the first week of an other game I'd would consider this as really impressive. I already tried to explain in my second post why install base is not the main reason Crash Bandicoot outsold Splatoon 2. And being the 3rd biggest Switch launch ever is not that impressive imo. Switch is not even half-year old, there haven't been much big game releases for it yet.
