Im not sure if this was confirmed but on ResetEra they were saying the Bethesda games on Switch had a pretty high digital ratio (about 40%).

In Nov in the US, Skyrim did over 100k and DOOM over 60k at retail so that would be about 170k & 100k when including digital.

Globally they gotta be at least 250k & 150k for these games in Nov.

If they have good legs in December than 500k & 300k is possible which i think would be considered decent since they are such late ports.

Hopefully Wolfenstein II can do similar numbers as well and Bethesda continues to support Switch. I would like a Fallout 4 port this year.

Out of curiosity, how would Resetera have come into possession of digital sales info? Do Bethesda insiders post there?

I reckon Skyrim on Switch will pass a million for sure; Doom I'm not so certain about, but it's not impossible; Black Ops on Wii had a 89k first week and ended up crossing the million mark. Considering neither had to be completely rebuilt the way COD on Wii did, they should turn a profit comfortably.

I believe it was John Harker, a known insider, who said it but im not 100% certain and i have no idea how he would have that info.

These digital numbers do seem possible though considering DOOM was in the top 15 on the eShop for a few weeks and Skyrim for over a month.
