If this was a game like Hellblade or something, sure, I would be surprised if the Switch version did much better than the PS4/X1 version. But most people who have a PS4 wouldn't even know what Monster Boy is, let alone have any sort of desire to play it. And now that I've actually seen footage of the game, I'm shocked it's not a mobile game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_EcK9h-x4M Yeah, something like this belongs on the Switch. I'm glad that its developers are finding success on that platform. But there is no surprise whatsoever that this sorta basic cutesy mobile-esque game isn't doing well on PS4. |

> For what it's worth, Dark Souls on Switch is currently outselling the PS4 version on Amazon.

> It could still be doing well on PS4 just not as well as on Switch.
