Incredible first week for Smash. And Crash slowly crawling to the million puts a smile on my face :)
But the real surprise is Mario Party!! Wow

Yeah it may not have been the next Wii Fit but it looks like the whole much-maligned "sales will pick up in the Christmas season" thing was actually true. The Variety Kit should pass a million sold through before Christmas. |
Well Wii Fit sort of had use for the whole family, "it'll stop gran dying" kinda thing, but Labo is more just "it'll stop little Jimmy dying while playing fortnite" I wonder how much time / energy Nintendo spent on the whole Labo project though? was it something they were working on for a few years or just a short term "this is something else the Switch can do" sort of project. The graphics of the software being basic enough could mean it wasn't that huge a dev time or that it was in production for WiiU but them shifted over to Switch late on in life with emphasis on the building aspect of it than the software itself.
Still though when I imagine older people going into a shop trying to get that "and a surprise" on the list from Santa they're going to know that their kid doesn't have a big cardboard robot for the Switch or Starlink, both of those should have done well over the holiday season but I'd think that Starlink launching at 100 for the deluxe ed really killed that before it could get out the gate.

Yeah I can't imagine LABO being an expensive thing to develop, the production values are very modest and it wouldn't have needed to sell very much to make a profit.

So 7 titles in top 20 are from one company alone, and that is one one single platform (!). Is there any other company that can even compare to that?

Oops. S'late. Misread your post.

It's not uncommon for either PS or Nintendo to have 7 titles in the top 10 on any given week. |
He's talking about Nintendo-developed games, not any game on the Switch. I honestly doubt that Playstation 4 has ever had a week according to VGChartz where 7 Sony first party games were in the top 10 at once. Then again, not necessarily Sony's fault, their third party selection is more popular in general.
In fact, Switch doesn't even have 7 titles in the top 10 in this week

Yeah, I caught my mistakes. S'late, but s'not that late. Thanks for capturing them forever though, quickdraw :)
