FIFA 18 on Switch accounted for 1% of all UK physical copies sold

I want a clarification (since I do find it a bit difficult to understand).

Do you mean the poor sales of FIFA 18, or the success of the game itself?

The former implies that Nintendo needs FIFA 18 to succeed, and the latter implies the opposite.

All I'm saying is, it would be nice for Nintendo fans to start buying more multiplats because it means more third party support in the future, but it doesn't matter right now because the Switch is flying off shelves and Nintendo have stacks of exclusives. I would assume that as the Switch starts to sell to a broader demographic, the choice of software will broaden too, giving third parties enough financial reason to fully support the Switch.

Thanks for answering my request for a clarification anyway (even if I noticed what you were trying to say while you were typing it).

In any case, I agree with your sentiment (but I have a vested interest in seeing RPGs and rhythm games succeed anyway, heh).

To add: FIFA 18 Switch ver. is definitely an entry that needs to prove itself first - not in terms of features, but in terms of appeal (it's an entry that is best advertised with demonstration and word-of-mouth). So, its legs will definitely be more of interest to me (though they won't be enough to offset poor first week sales, in this case).
