Seems like all Switch ports are being satisfactory, very good. Let's see how sales fair.

This version sold less than the PSVR port in the UK, i wonder which were the estimates from Bethesda on this case.

Don't think they will say anything more than "It done above/bellow expectations"... but to be lower than PSVR version is bad... and for that there is not an excuse of userbase or even performance since PSVR versions are usually lower pixel count and simpler textures to allow more frames.

also...have folks noticed that Nintendo Published both DOOM & Skyrim? I find that curious, though I imagine thats the only reason these games are existing on the platform in the first place.

Shows Bethesda as publisher for both games on Nintendo's official site.

When will you guys learn that the fucking UK doesn't equal the world? It has always been a poor market for Nintendo, it's not representative of the rest of the world at all.

UK wants shooters and FIFA.  That's UK market summed up.

dont get me wrong it's a good port, but the game shouldn't surprise anyone thats its running on switch, especially with the volumetrics and distant foliage being removed. the game is not even impressive looking for 360/ps3.

The are other aspects in play for example the SE version runs on a different engine to the original that addresses a number of stability issues.

PSVR worlds is right below Skyrim, you know ... the game that literally just sells because it's bundled? This basically proves that a majority of the sales from Skyrim VR are bundles, because the two games that are bundled for PSVR are literally right next to each other.

Yes it is, and is it the only version available? I don't think it is.

When will you learn to be polite? We know that UK =/= World, yet we can only discuss the numbers we have.

Still Fifa done 1% of total in UK FW, and WW it done 1,6%, yet you were probably among the people that were complain about we discussing the UK sales.

odd!

 

On the back of the boxes it says "Published by Nintendo" compared to my Binding of Isaac Box which reads "Licensed by Nintendo"
