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  Second, they are outdated as it hasn't been updated in over a year...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?

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.

No company ever reports if they sell 2m on any system ever, lol.  With over 130 million non-Nintendo games sold on the Switch I'm going to have to err on the side of probability there has been more than 10 games with over 2m sales.

Furthermore, when most of those games already released on other systems it is going to impact sales as anyone likely to purchase that game has most likely already purchased it.

Since it is impossible to prove this either way, I will provide a list of games that have likely sold 2m+:

Witcher 3
Minecraft
Diablo 3
Skyrim
Mario+Rabbids
Just Dance
Octopath Traveler
Enter the Gungeon
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy
Civilization VI
Many Lego Titles
NBA 2kxx
FIFA xx
Hello Neighbor
Assassin's Creed
Mortal Kombat 11
Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate
Final Fantasy
Overcooked
Ori
Cuphead
Team Sonic Racing
Resident Evil
Shovel Knight
Starlink
Super Bomberman R
Doom

And I'm sure there is more.
