Switch Is Succeeding Without Blue Ocean Casuals, Nintendo Should Not Forget This.

[Soundwave]

We've seen demographic break downs of the Switch that say as much from Nintendo directly, but we see it even more and more with up to date software trends on the system ... 

Look at the top 10 software for October:

Nintendo Switch

1. Super Mario Odyssey
2. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
3. Mario Kart 8
4. Fire Emblem: Warriors
5. Pokken Tournament DX
6. Splatoon 2
7. Mario & Rabbids: Kingdom Battle
8. FIFA 18
9. NBA 2K18
10. Dragon Ball: Xenoverse 2

Interesting take there is not only are things like 1,2 Switch no where close to long tail sellers, they've completely fallen off the top 10. ARMS which was Nintendo's other "motion gaming" experiment for the Switch, which is marketed like a Wii game has also collapsed out of the top 10. The new Just Dance 2018 also failed to make the Switch top 10. 

But you do see things like FIFA, NBA2K, and Fire Emblem Warriors present. Nintendo should be very careful how they proceed IMO the system is doing well because there's a good amount of content for the traditional gaming audience and the device is marketed at that crowd. If they veer too far away from this and try to rely on casuals they are going to get themselves into trouble. 

4/10 top games being 3rd party (Mario/Rabbids is published by Ubi Soft) is not a bad mix for a Nintendo system either.
