EA: "There isn't much room for other titles than 1st party on Switch"

First, those numbers are estimated sales, not actual data from the companies.  Second, they are outdated as it hasn't been updated in over a year...

@DonFerrari 

Sure for both, and no company have reported over 2M games sold on Switch have they? Will ask again can you show source for 10 3rd party games that sold over 2M on Switch?

EA isn't a company that focus on sub 1M games, that isn't pretty much clear? So again, the type of games they do and the type of sales they expect aren't feasible for them on Nintendo not sure why that is a problem.

You are on VGChartz, just hit  the search button and select Switch as the platform and you'll all the tracked sales. What you won't see are many 2M sellers from 3rd parties.

There is a single game that sold more than 2M on Switch published by a 3rd party, at 17th position with 2.59M sales.

On PS4 you have almost 100 games with over 2M sales (if you put X1 together possibly would be over 150) and most of them are 3rd parties.

I haven't provided a list, maybe you confused poster. I asked him to show 10 games published by 3rd parties on Switch that crossed 2M.

Whoops, I thought you posted that link.

But do you realize Vgchartz stopped tracking software at the end of 2018?

Yep it have been said. But those are the only numbers we had and within 1 or 2 years PS4/X1 had more than 10 2M+ 3rd party sellers right?

I'll say it again, pubs don't hate money nor hate Nintendo. The reason they don't put the big guns on Switch (or do an exclusive for it that is big) is because their forecasts show that there isn't the return they expect to receive on other platforms. There really isn't another answer, unless we go conspiracy theories or pubs hate Nintendo money.
