| Soundwave said: 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
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.

The blue ocean strategy was made there home console line, which were not selling to there satisfactory, they felt they couldn't compete with sony, so they looked for a new audience, when the heck was there handheld line about blue ocean? there handhelds always old great, 3ds sold very good but not great for nintendo, so there stepping there game, and going the sony route with there handheld, where it can be more then handheld.
