I will post the top here every monday and thus keep the sae old thread going (like the COMG thread does). It's been a while so let me fill you up on what's happened this year (you can check top history on the SELL's homepage. Between March and late August, Switch has been dominating the top 5, with often 2 or 3 games charting. MK8 and BotW had been here for weeks. Clearly Switch adoption has been fast among my compatriots. From fall, Switch presence in the top began to diminish rapidly as PS4/XBO AAA hit the market. Now is the period when Switch has to prove it can play in the same league as PS4 (and XBO to a lesser extend). Of course, it faces the same problem as anywhere else : 3rd party games are struggling and it's very rare to see them in the Switch top 3, while they still make wonders on competing systems. Doom and Skyrim are around the corner, Nintendo France is promoting them heavily (at least the latter), so their performance will be an indicator on whether French Switch owners are interested in non-Nintendo games. Ninty's 1st party games are strong in France but they won't make the difference all by themselves. Here already we can see that SMO is losing ground on AC Origins. The battle for France has just started, let it be fair and epic. |
That's quite the narrative you're inventing there.
