90m X1's and PS4's... not to mention the PC, but games are selling more on a System with 5million users?
I'm confused as to how this can be true.

I think the handheld part is what attracts players to play indie games on NSW. Console boots up fast, so you can play small games that you can turn off at any time and bring with you anywhere. Just like mobile.

I'm not saying you're wrong in the slightest, I've even picked up a few titles like "I am Setsuna, Snakepass,tumbleseed and graceful explosion machine" on the Switch for far more than the PS4 title would have cost me, just so I could play it on a plane trip.

I happily pay that extra amount for what I know to be a slightly lesser visual presentation of the game... in the trade off for being able to put it in my pocket and go out the door with the machine...

Still though if you were to estimate that there's 110m indie capable PC's in the world would mean that the Switch is tasked with selling more games with 5m compared to 200m (110mPCs+Consoles) would mean the purchase rate has to be 40x higher on the Switch than on the other platforms.

Fantastic stuff for all involved of course.

There is no mention of it selling more than the PC version just that it sold more than other console versions combined which would be X1,PS4 and WiiU.
