Not looking good for AAA 3rd party support on Switch! L.A. Noire Switch not even in the Top 30 for it's debut, Doom Switch already dropping, and Skyrim, the only AAA 3rd party I felt had a chance at a million, probably wont get there with that opening. I think it's safe to say Resident Evil wont do much either. We can only hope developer expectations were in check.

Skyrim Switch will pass a million; many, many games have opened much lower than 154k and gone on to sell over a million.

And Doom actually held up okay; 80k first week to a 37k second week, not actually that steep a drop at all.

Well then I have to doubt Skyrim will be one of them.

I'd say it's not that good when it didn't open great to begin with and we're in the holiday season.

The difference in our perspectives probably comes from me thinking these games are gonna have no legs after the holidays. If I'm wrong about that, then sure these numbers might be fine, but for now I remain a skeptic!

LA noire doing 10k more on Switch than Xbox one.

Sonic doing a lot better on Switch

Doom at 112k already probably close to 150k with digital.

Skyrim 150k first week is really good. 

MR at 800k

Lots of Indies selling far better on Switch than other system even compare to steam.

 

Third party isnt dead on Switch. It wont get major releases but games like TEW 2 that struggles to find success will be probably heading to Switch to save the game.

Erm I never said 3rd party was dead, and Indies aren't AAA. I'm just talking about the AAA 3rd party devs that don't normally support Nintendo. I don't count Mario Rabbids as I doubt Ubisoft are gonna think it's success means games like Assassin's Creed and Watch Dogs can be successful too. I'm sure they understand that it's because it's using Nintendo IP. I sure wouldn't have bought it if it didn't have Mario in it hehe. As for Sega, they even made games for the Wii U so their support is a given. Your point about L.A. Noire is quite valid though, Rockstar will be hard pressed if they try using it's sales as an excuse to drop Switch support but still bring games to X1.
