OP should be updated thread with more informations from official NPD statement.

In any case top 10 selling Switch games for October:

1. Super Mario Party
2. Mario Kart 8
3. Super Mario Odyssey
4. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
5. Diablo III
6. Starlink: Battle For Atlas
7. Dark Souls Remastered
8. The World Ends with You: Final Remix
9. Lego DC Super Villains
10. My Hero One's Justice


I am very happy seeing that Diablo III, Starlink: Battle For Atlas and Dark Souls Remastered charting very good on Switch list,
all those games are right after Mario Party and Switch evergreens (Zelda, MK8DX and Odyssey).
Those games deserves good sales on Switch.

Number 1 to 4 we know are selling well. Saying that 5 to 10 are doing well because they are close to the top 4 doesn't guarantee they are. There could be a huge gap from the sales of 4 and 5.

I also wouldn't say such a late port of games like diabo being number 5 is a good indication of your platforms overall software situation. 

Like I wrote:

First, despite those game that released over year ago they still are best selling Switch games every quarter, every quarter each of that games sells more than 1m. Second, you cant offten see that any 3rd party game and espacily multiplatform game can sneak up in top 10 selling Switch games, fact that those 3 games take positions after Switch evergreens proves they sell quite good in any case. Third, only Starlink is a new game, others are ports of older games, and funny enuogh, Starlink and Dark Souls Remastered (on release) did not charted on PS4 and XB1 lists of best selling games for those platforms while they did for Switch, while Diablo 3 was on sale only like 2 days and managed to take 5. position.

I can't believe that the 3rd party titles can't splatoon from making the list, so that's something 

What happened to Splatoon? Is it not as big outside of Japan? 

Nothing, those 3rd party games sold better this month. Splatoon was always strongest in Japan even if its quite good on other markets too.
