I only wonder at what point do Switch owners have games to play. July? 10 first party releases? At the end of 2018?

That's what Zorg is trying to know, too, yet can't get an answer.

I'm not surprised, I remember back in the day when the PS3 was starved for games, I bought anything I was even remotely interested in.

Yup. This generation, I actually bought Bloodborne mainly because there was very slim pickings in the beginning for the PS4.

So people buying whatever they can get their hands on for the Switch or certain titles dong better on that platform doesn't surprise me in the least and people shouldn't read too much into it. Not saying the Switch isn't succesful, though. It's too early to tell one way or the other.

Have to wonder about Tetris, though. Do people still play that, it's so dull and simplistic? I guess it's always going to be new for some people. Why don't they re-release Pong while they're at it?

Don't even remind me about what i bought during the PS4 launch window. :D



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Having lots of other games to play. 

It's Tetris though.

Isn't there like 4 different versions of Tetris on PSN? I bought Puyo Puyo Tetris on Switch b/c I wanted someone for the platform. :shrug:

I'm surprised it has done as well as it has done on any of the platforms. Lego selling well on a Nintendo platform makes sense though, regardless of userbase.

Not good numbers for the Switch either, but it could have long legs

LEGO I can understand but what's the 60m PS4 owners excuse for Puyo Puyo Tetris doing better on Switch (UK at least). It's ~50% more expensive than the PS4 version and Switch is sold out. No3 on Switch's UK digital chart too.

No guns/giant Swords or scantily clad women or super realistic graphics

I wish I was joking, but that seems what sells on PS4/Xbox ONE, plus racing/sports simulation games, to the exclusion of almost everything else

You say that like the two best sellers on Switch by a huge margin aren't a game with giant swords + scantily clad women and a racing game, lol (and the next best seller is likely to be a shooter).

Weak sales on all systems incl. PC. Doesn't deserve a thread.

Of course it sells on Switch too

But a game like Bomberman R or ARMS probably wouldn't fly high on a non-Nintendo console these days.

Jump 'n run, Puzzle Games, lighthearted games in general, these all probably have way better chances on a Nintendo console than on a Xbox or Playstation nowadays
