What sells the Switch? Is it Doom and Skyrim? Or is it Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart, Smash, Pokemon? Look at the software: http://www.vgchartz.com/platform/83/nintendo-switch/

If Skyrim can't sell 1 million in a year then what the fuck chance does anything else stand? Do you really think Switch could become the go to platform for AAA gaming? As in Switch being the lead platform for GTA 6, Elder Scrolls 6 and the like? You're tripping.

The reality is, PS4 will keep getting the lions share of third party titles up until the release of the PS5. Once PS5 is on the market, both it and PS4 will get cross gen games for the first year or so just like the beginning of this gen. The Switch will continue not to get CoD, BF, or any major AAA thrid party release outside of stuff that is big in Japan. What motivation does Bethesda have to bring Doom 2 to Switch when the first one can barely sell past 300k?

The PS5 will be fine. Switch'l do nuttin.. It'l do nuttin'.

850k physical in 6-7 months for a port while they also made a remaster of the same game months before is really good. Skyrim is still in the top 30/25 in the global weekly. Doom barely sold 1 million physical on Xbox idk what y'all were expecting for a late port on a smaller install base, the game probably is around 400k now with digital and it's pretty good tbh. Sure exclusives are selling more but still third party really helps having a fuller library of games and more variety. 

 

Fifa 18 and Skyrim coming for 1 million in a couple of weeks/months is stellar for the Switch. No wonder why it is getting W2, Fifa 19, NBA2k19, Fortnite, paladins etc. Won't get ES6 and GTA6 but tbh that's still huge for a portable device and the games are actually worth porting cause they sell well. This is a nice step in the right direction for Nintendo as they might think more of third party games for the next system since they are now seeing that it is selling on Switch.

 

Technology in the future will be even more remarkable and i would not be surprise if we can have a Switch 2 really close to what the PS5 will be doing (if it comes out like 3 years after tho..)

The Switch is getting great support for what it is. Basically everything that can come to it is coming, so that's a good thing. But it's not fit to replace a core home console like liquid laser said. Surely you know how full of shit he is.

Fair play to FIFA 18 and Skyrim, and why not keep porting sports titles? But they will continue to underperform compared to the competition. This time next year when Switch is close to Xbox One numbers, it still won't sell more copies of FIFA or 2K. Not even close.

The Switch will find success outside of Nintendo titles to some degree, but we all know the top sellers by far on the system are going to be all exclusive. Nintendo fans are crazy loyal to Nintendo games and even they know there are better alternatives for playing third party AAA's than Switch.
