Big third party games are still nearly non-existent on the Switch. As far as I can tell not one of the big Holiday block busters are coming to the switch this year.

Let me check:

  • Civilization VI: should be around 4 million by now
  • ARK: over 5M by 2016
  • FIFA and NBA: do I need to dig up numbers
  • Skyrim: 20M+ by 2014
  • Fortnite: 100M+
  • Minecraft: probably the best-selling game ever

Switch has clearly more big games than Wii, GC and WiiU combined. It baffles me how 'big games' nowadays is synonymous with a small selection of action and FPS titles, while a majority of games with great sales are ignored, just because these sales happen on PC or the genre is deemed unworthy for ... reasons.

And for the holidays: not 3rd-party, but I'm pretty sure Pokemon and Smash may be among the biggest holiday blockbusters.
