| Megiddo said: I mean, I'm sure FIFA 19 can hit a million on the Switch. That's still 10 million less than FIFA 18 on PS4 YTD and only ~5% of the total userbase (whereas FIFA is owned by ~20% of the PS4 userbase). |
Still, you take a look at those Switch numbers, if those numbers all double as the userbase grows from 15 millon into 30+ million or even grows by 50% ... that's pretty healthy sales for a lot of those games. For example if a FIFA game were to hit say 1.6 mill (doubling the 800k of FIFA 18) on the Switch, that starts to inch close to what the XBox version sells.
FIFA is one of the PS4's biggest sellers, but PS4 also has 4x the userbase, if you went 800k x 4, that's 3.2 million sales scaled up relative to the Switch's userbase ... I'm sure EA would do backflips if FIFA can retain a 5% tie-in to the Switch user base. It's not about matching, this isn't a contest. It's about showing there's a reasonable enough sized market for third party software.
