lol and what exactly do you think they're buying with those pre paid cards? Coffee?

Why lol!? PSN cards will be spent on different types of digital games even on PSN subscription, that doesn't tells us nothing about popularity and sales of specific games.

Actually it does, the point of this thread was pretty much to say that "people are buying switch games", well, people are actually buying more games on PS4, doesn't matter which, they're still buying them.

In terms of retail software yes, the 4 best selling titles on amazon this month are Switch games (except fire emblem 3ds), though only two of those are in the top 10, very slow month for software.

3rd MK8,  8th Zelda,  20th Arms,  27th Ultra Street Fighter

MK8 is the only one doing really strong, in 3rd among all the countless psn digital sales xD.

Lmao at the "no gamez" comments. Remember when that was all you ever heard about the PS4? ;)

Anyway, I am glad the Switch and its software are doing well. I hope E3 brings good things and the momentum will keep rising steadily.

No but it tells us overall Playstation is dominating software sales.  

Of Course that is dominated software sales when its console with easily biggest user base.

You're saying I'm stating the obvious.  Well I'm not the one who created this thread which inevitably requires the obvious to be stated.  And that's,  like always the chart is dominated by Playstation digital cards.

Point of this thread was that specifik Switch games are some of most popular games on Amazon, that why in most popular games on Amazon for 2017. you have MK8D and Zelda BotW and only one PS4 game Horizon thats below those two games.

True. Just because some PSN cards are in the top doesn't show what they were spent on. We don't know from this list how many minecraft or Thumper downloads are being made on Switch. There could be 3 times those PSN card values being spent on Switch digital software. Plus the digital copies of the Switch games that do make it on this physical copy list. Those PSN cards could also be for digital content rather than game sales. 

 

What does surprise me though is that we don't see more Nintendo eshop cards showing up in the list considering the popularity but that is probably due to Nintendo not rolling out much of there digital plans like VC and not many games have digital content yet. It will happen.
