Nintendo is dominating the best-sellers list. GTA6 on Xbox Series being number one is a surprise, especially when the PS5 version isn't on the list at all.

Only a few more days until I’m back to my normal Fall/Spring (academic) routine. Ooh I’m looking forward to chatting with all you guys again… and well returning to my routine of gaming and such. It’s been busy with relatives, as much as I love them, I’m ready to get back to work. I’ve got an OC League, NS2 Upcoming Release List, and so much more to update.

Code in box, pah!! Might as well be a cardboard square with the code, like Nintendo eShop cards.

Tbh it wouldn't surprise me if GTAVI comes in above 200GB maybe even hovering around 300GB it'll be a huge game no doubt, GTAV was just under 100GB 14 years ago which at the time was insanely big.

And what's the file size of the biggest Switch 2 game?

The UK isn't the most unreliable place to gauge success of any kind for Nintendo platforms if we went by the UK S2 would be well behind in sales to the PS5 weekly, while 5m seems high the reasoning that it being higher than DK doesn't make it so isn't really a concrete one because DK is far from the highest selling first party title I'd say the number is at least above 2m maybe even around 3m. A number of third party games outsold the last DK game (freeze) with MH Rise, Minecraft being obvious examples.

I follow the charts in all regions and no third party Switch 2 game has sold as well as DK Bananza. I'm not basing it on franchise history I'm literally just keeping track of how I see them listed lol.

The UK can comfortably be used to estimate global numbers as there are frequent regional patterns. Games that don't perform great in the UK are not going to perform amazingly in Europe, and may perform better but still not amazing in US.

Cyberpunk Switch hasn't sold anything close to 5m, but I'd like to see the logic or source that suggest it has. 3m as a guess is not impossible but still unlikely since the S2 version of the game was only out for 12months of the 18 in which it sold 10m.

Speaking of CDPR, I’m hoping W3 gets a Switch 2 port along with the new expansion.

Finally picked up Star Fox! Already several missions in, and man, I swear this is how the game looked as a kid! Still as fun as ever.

Also ordered Rhythm Heaven Groove to see what that game is like.

It's odd because, from what I've gleaned from gameplay vids, they did a passable job in reinterpreting 64's visuals, but hardly gave a damn about voice acting or tone.
