Fact that they are best selling games and selling better than Nintendo games on eShop means they are selling quite good.That's totally logical, I can't believe you have hard time to realise that.

Its not point about few devs, most of 3rd partys that relesed games on Switch said they are satisfied about sales of their games and promised stronger support and more games.

Actually it is because XB1 install base is much bigger than Switch install base in UK in any case. Also we had Fifa numbers for France where EA said they are very satisfied with Fifa sales on Switch.

I wouldn't look too much at VGC numbers, especially when new platform and games for it are in matter. For instance few weeks ago Namco Bandai said that Dragon Ball on Switch passed 500k (sold better on Switch than on Steam) while on VGC numbe were something like 200k.

Agreed that VGC can be dodgy but I don't think we can completely dismiss them. And I understand what you're trying to say but without knowing how well games sell on the store and saying that "they sell better than Nintendo exclusives so the must be selling good" doesn't really work when comparing games that have retail releases to digital only games, which most of them are. 

Again, we don't know how much those games are selling. This is all I'm trying to say. 

Yeah, but this list is only for digital sales. Talking about retail+digital sales,  I alredy wrote to you that most of 3rd partys that released games on Switch said they are satisfied about sales of their games and promised stronger support and more games.

Again, we dont need to accurate numbers to say if games are selling or not, we have lists of best selling games and we have devs that saying that games are selling good on Switch.
