only conclusion i came to for the answer to the thread title is ''because people are buying them''.

Games like Skyrim and Fifa are also around 1m not around 500-700k, I mean even VGC have them around 0.95m without digital sales.

Number of games with 500k-1m range is far bigger, for instance 8 months ago Bandai Namco reported that Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 passed 500k on Switch, surprising Steam sales in that moment.

If you don't like the conversation, and wish to drop it, just drop it. You don't need to give him another nudge before you leave the room. 

If for whatever reason you guys feel you're talking past each other, then just leave it be. This back and forth has gone on long enough, and doesn't need to escalate further. That means you too zorg. 

Some money. They don't want *some* money, they want it all. GTAV NSW sales would probably not be noticed by 2K/Rockstar. If it's a 32 GB cart, it'll make about 21 million total, with 100% sell-though, but before development costs and ads, etc. are paid for.  If it's a 16 GB cart, it'll make more (ballpark: 30 million)

Im not gonna say im completely innocent but things wouldnt escalate if he wasnt condescending or throwing insults at almost everybody he responded to in this thread.

Hes told multiple people they have low standards, lack reading comprehension, use mental gymnastics, need to have their hands held just in this thread.

This probably isnt the right place for this but i dont gey why Alki was moderated when Potato's behavior has been just as bad or worse.

GTAV would definatly made quite a profit on Switch, game would easily sell 3m+ at least, good chanches are even for 5m+, it would probably become best selling 3rd party game even on Switch, and those numbers (so 3m+ at least) would make huge profit for 2K/Rockstar we talking about port of existing game, so development costs would be only few millions, and for full priced $60 game they would make at least around $20 pure profit per game whithout online, so they would easily make at least $50-100m profit. And for info, no, 32GB Switch carts dont cost $20 to devs, they are less than $10.

Hmm, this seems like a challenge for me, especially since this site has a GameDB.

So, Activision put out apparently 20 WiiU-games (I ignore the two, that have no Boxart and no sales associated). Five in 2012 (007 Legends, Call of Duty Black Ops, Skylanders Giants, Transformers: Prime and WipeOut 3). Six in 2013 (Spiderman, Walking Dead, SpongeBox, Skylanders Swap Force, Angry Birds Star Wars, Call of Duty Ghosts). Five in 2014 (Big game Hunter, Spiderman, Transformer: Dark Spark, Skylanders Trap Team, The Voice). Three in 2015 (Skylanders: SuperChargers, Guitar Hero, Peanuts Movie). And finally one in 2016 (Skylanders: Imaginators). Overall very Skylanderish.

I find four EA-games for WiiU, searching for Electronic Arts and EA Sports separately with different results. Three in 2012 (FIFA, Madden, Mass Effect) and one in 2013 (Need for Speed).

For Vita I find four Activision games. Call of Duty in 2012, Angry Birds and Spiderman in 2013 and SpongeBox in 2015.

EA had for Vita six games that I find. Need for Speed, Madden and two (???) FIFAs in 2012, and then a FIFA in 2013 and 2014.

So in conclusion: Vita had basically every year FIFA, something which also happens for Switch it seems. Activision did actually support the WiiU quite well. So far Switch doesn't seem up to par, but Skylanders seem no longer be a yearly IP, which made a lot of the WiiU support.

Activision output in general has dropped significantly in the last couple years.

Because there's actual good 3rd party games on a Nintendo system for a change. And not just lovelessly on the market thrown shovelware titles like 3rd parties did on previous Nintendo systems.

Source? I want to believe you, but I need information.
