| Dulfite said: Vgchartz Switch Numbers in database: Minecraft - 1.89 million Skyrim - 1.15 million Crash Bandicoot trilogy - 1.11 million Fifa18 - 1.10 million Octopath Traveler - 1.02 million How many does EA need to sell to think it's profitable? If a million isn't enough then that's sad. I'm sure if they released all their games on Switch they'd sell enough to profit and save their company some face. |
Compare it to 3rd party numbers on other consoles with similar install bases and suddenly it's relative. And look at that list. Skyrim and Minecraft are probably the most popular 3rd parties that exist in the industry and they struggle to jump over a mere million. Fifa is by far the biggest selling sports franchise in the world. Octopath Traveler was exclusive to Switch for the longest time. If that is what it takes to break a mere million on the currently most popular console you might see why people think 3rd party doesn't have much of a place on a console that is completely dominated by 1st party games.
For most people the Switch is only the 3rd best choice to experience 3rd party games and it's easy to see why.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
