No no no. This is spin. The guy specifically said Resident Evil fans. |
Maybe porting fatigue / oversaturation after they bought Resident Evil 4 HD, 5 HD, 6 HD, Zero HD Remaster and Umbrella Corps in 2016 plus Resident Evil 1 HD Remaster and a bunch of Revelations-2-episodes (4 main episodes + 2 bonus episodes) in 2015...
Are you denying that there was much more choice in Resident Evil titles on PS4 and Xbox One than on Switch?

Not saying Switch owners have nothing to play but there are no other Resi games on the system. You think I'd get a Switch if it had no games? Lol. |
Or, just a guess, the Switch has more Resident Evil fans than you think and that's why the Switch version outsold the other versions. Period.

Porting fatigue? I thought we were talking about Resident Evil fans? Wouldn't they buy a game regardless because it's RE? What you're suggesting is based on nothing. The simple thing is that there were no other Resident Evil games for almost a year. Revelations came out in november on an even field, and beat the other versions. Thus showing that there was much more interest for than on other systems. Maybe the Switch has more RE fans than you're willing to accept.

That's unlikely considering Resi 4, 5 and 6 all sold above a million on PS4 and Xbox One and Resi 7 sold way more. There is less reason for Resi fans to buy a Switch than PS4 unless there is a huge overlap of Nintendo and Resi fans.

Relative to installbases, they should, but that installbase (or fanbase) didn't buy this one. If the Switch had those installbases it could have sold the same or more. RE games managed to sell over a million on Nintendo systems before. And there was more than enough time to get over whatever fatigue there was between all those ports. If they weren't fans, we both would agree, they would have had different games to play (there were a lot of releases between October and December) yet they still bought it.
There was more interest for this version than the others. Could have been the portability. Simple.

It will eventually reach out some great numbers over time. Makes me think Skyrim reached a million (since Nintendo reported 2 third party games reached 1 million. We know 1 of them is M+R). Hopefully Doom is close to 500k. That would be amazing. |
Source? (about "2 third party games reached 1 million")

True that. But i think Stardew Valley is more global and was out before so i think it reached the million before.
It might also be Minecraft since its really popular in Japan.

Not every fan buys multiple versions of a game, especially if the releases of these ports are so close together. Maybe you are also focussing on the fan-aspect to ignore any context on the differences of both platforms just to support your argument.
Pretty good representation on Switch side.
