Roll-out:

This thread is about the performance of the most important Nintendo self-published games on the Switch compared to precedent outings of the same franchise. In case of a new intellectual property, I will compare it to similar IPs produced by Nintendo. This is an exercise to measure Nintendo's financial health and brand awareness.

So, to break it down:

Selected Nintendo-published titles for Switch
Cumulative sales only
Very short analyzes
Graphics and design
Adjustments will be made when official data is released

NEWEST UPDATE: (02.01.18) Adjusted with recent 9-Months Earnings Report from Nintendo.

10 titles published by Nintendo.

So is this a comparison with previous games from the same franchise, or comparison between any and all Nintendo games?

Mostly previous franchises! But in some cases, like ARMS, I will be comparing it to similar Nintendo games (like Punch-Out!!) since it's a new intellectual property.

I hope I made my intentions clear with this thread :/
