Those games are mostly 2017 games and smaller 2018 games. In a year of noteworthy releases Mario tennis wouldn't have been the top seller anywhere.

As a Switch owner, it was collecting dust post SMO but recently I got Octopath and it has me hooked. But I wouldn't have gotten Octopath of Switch had any big release this year.

Which would be a sin, because Octopath is really one great unique game in it's own right, missing it out because it doesn't have one of the big names would've been so wrong.

Anyways, to the argument the charts are filled with 2017 games. True enough, but do you notice something? The argument here is that Dead Cells is visible, because of the lack of other games on Switch, but is drowned in big releases on PS4. But apparently these big releases are missing from the charts either, otherwise we wouldn't see 2017-releases for Switch. So Dead Cells should've been as visible on PS4 as on Switch.

PS4 has so many games that many of them eat into each other's sales, atleast that's my perspective. Its why PS4 has enormous software sales at 700 million but no game in particular is utterly dominating which shows a userbase playing a variety of different games.

I think its the amazing reviews for Dead Cells which helped it on Switch, moreso than on PS4 because the Switch doesn't have as many amazingly well reviewed games as PS4 and because of portability.
