Funnier would be you and others on the Fifa18 UK sales saying that it selling 1% of the sales on UK wasn't any issue and that WW it would do much better and end up doing 110k WW (or like 1.6%) and then you guys play dead.

And now that I bring this fact, then you will try and say that Fifa and skyrim are different games (no shit sherlock).

But based on the info we have right now we have Fifa Switch done bad in UK -> bad WW, and what Skyrim Switch have done (that is lower than PSVR, and in this case can't even use any excuse on userbase since PSVR userbase is smaller than Switch). So from what we have it is more likely to supposed based on data that Skyrim haven't done great number WW for Switch.

But the only argument you can use is UK =/= WW without being able to bring any data or fact to help out any argument that Skyrim done great.

Oh and why don't you look all the Switch games that did just "okish" on Uk and then were a success WW? Of course you rather talk about Fifa because its the exception and fits better with your desire narrative.

Bring the data of the 3rd party that done bad in UK and done great WW then instead of just attacking and accusing people.

And have you gone back to the UK thread on Fifa sales to say you were wrong?

Im bumping this thread to know if Goodnightmoon found this data.

He talked in such a way that i assume he holds in his power all the information necessary to prove us wrong Don!



Looks like it’s a great port, solid 30 fps is huge.

Still, no way i’m paying 60$ for Skyrim in 2017, PS4 version is 36$ right now and i’m still going to wait for a lower price.

There are already 1st party games that are a good prove of that

A great example is Arms, a game that debuted 2nd on UK with barely 10k sales and behind Horizon on its 16th week, for many this was a sign of flop, yet by August Nintendo said they had already shipped 1.2m of copies worldwide

Other example is Splatoon 2 that debuted 2nd after Crash bandicoot on its 4rd week with barely 25k - 30k, yet by September the game had already sold 3.6m worldwide

Even BoTW was released selling barely a 40% of what Horizon sold that same week yet right now the switch version has sold 4.7m worlwide, wich is like a 30% more than what Horizon did.

No, UK has never been a good indicator of success when it comes to Nintendo.

Comparing Nintendo 1st party games to third party games on a Nintendo system. Third party games dont sell well on Nintendo systems unless they are third party exclusives (rabbits). It has been that way since the gamecube era. Selling less units than a PSVR game whilst having four times the userbase is poor performance for the Switch.

Poor performance on UK, which is usually a bad market for Nintendo, is that so hard to understand?

Because even a poor market can have decent sales. As other posts proved Fifa Switch sold pisspoor everywhere. Even when you multiple Switch sales by ten (because userbase) Fifa sales are not even close to the PS4 version. Third party games don't sell well on Nintendo home consoles unless they are exclusive to that system. You want some emperical data count  the non exclusive third party games in the top30 sold Wii games. I doubt you will find 5 and especially not one in the top 20. Except for Just dance obviously.

sub 720 dynamic res is a slap in the face but to be expected. That one comparison pic where the switch ver has way less trees.,super short grass lod and you cant even see the bonfire . wow!

You saw the deflection.

No one is discussing if a game sold 30k on Switch in UK it can't do 1M WW (and shipped =/= sold, but when we want to prove something else we can forget that right?). The discussion is a game that is doing 1% of the volume in one market isn't going to misteriously do 20% WW... But god forbid we say anything that isn't positive to Nintendo.
