Almost none, I don't think anyone bought a PS4/Xbox One just to play Fallout 76. But there were Diablo III bundle so I guess it was sold to some people.

"It" was referring to Kingdom Hearts 3, not Fallout 76. I really doubt that Fallout76 would have pushed that many consoles even if it was actually a quality game, since you know, Fallout 4 already happened.

But just curious, why did you mention Fallout 76 in your example, and not Red Dead Redemption 2?

Why are you focusing on single titles being system sellers? A fraction of a percent of all games are system sellers regardless of platform.

I feel like almost every time i see you talk about Switch you bring up how it doesnt have any 3rd party system sellers so I have to ask, why does it matter?

Well when KH3 was released, it sold on par with the Switch in Japan (when there were no new release) so I can assume it didn't really pushed sales, Switch sold more in Japan when Diablo III or Dark Souls were released.

And I mentionned Fallout 76 because you claimed since games like Skyrim, Doom or Wolfenstein II are "old ports" (which is odd, Wolfenstein II was released on Switch just a few month after PS4/Xbox One so not really an "old port") or MK11, Crash Bandicoot, Fortnite are too specific games, they shouldn't be considered as good 3rd party support. So I took a game that was pretty much waited by everyone (so a simultaneous release on the Switch should - by definition - mean good 3rd party support) but isn't really worth playing since it's a pretty bad game.

So, yeah, the Switch don't have all 3rd party games for now and will probably never get the next AAA game from EA or Activision. Big deal, remember the lootbox-gate of Battlefront II.

The amount of 3rd party games we have so far - in portable version - is way beyond what we could expect from an underpowered Nintendo system. Bethesda is even trying to get Rage 2 working on the Switch, that's says a lot.

But despite all of those things, honestly I'll still be disappointed if they don't bring GTA V.

Because as you said "A fraction of a percent of all games are system sellers regardless of platform." And the fraction of a percent that are system seller, how important are they? I'll give you a hint: go figure out what percentage of total software sales are made up by the 20 best selling titles on Switch.

Because games that actually move systems are a critical part of a platforms long-term success. Since Nintendo has more or less released the vast majority of its system sellers, it's going to need to keep its momentum going somehow. The most logical place for this is a constant and steady stream of games that make people want to go out and buy your console, and it it can't come from you, it has to come from third parties - that are busy making safe ports that get mostly get mediocre sales. I don't see why that can't be seen as a issue with the Switch going forward. If sales are going to start plateauing, third party support may turn out to be a big reason why.

Funny how they keep swapping places when the other reaches the holidays..

Ok so what do you think the Switch's lifetime sales will be?

I dont see how Wii has anything with this? Games I mentioned are not shovelware at all. Games that I mentioned are quality titles. More games makes platform more attractive in any case, that espacily goes when we talk about good and quality titles (even if they are old ports), not to mentioned Nintendo and exclusive Switch games.

Pls stop moving goal posts, you also keep saying things that I never said, stop doing that if you want to have normal discusion, I never said even nearly anything similar like "great system selling games" for any game that I mentioned. I said that for some people games that I mentioned because full handheld mode are big deal, and those are kind of people that had some interest in Switch and some of those games can push them to buy Switch, same like this "Offcourse that not single 3rd party game can move consoles like biggest Nintendo IPs can, but point is that Switch is getting some great and diverse 3rd party games (despite good part of them are old ports), and that Switch 3rd party support is incrasing in any case". You have problem realising that some people because full handheld mode can be intrested about some 3rd party games even they played them before, also dont act that every person played every older game in any case. Real word is "better" than last year, not little less poor, lol.

Reality is that no one ever said that Switch (or any other Ninetndo platform) can or have same 3rd party support like other platforms, so its pointles to compare that support with PS4/XB1, and thats why people more comparing 3rd party support with past Nintendo systems. So its not point about free pass at all, when someone say that Switch has good 3rd party support for Nintendo system. Fact is that when Switch or any other platform has more games and more diverse games (yes, that counts old ports and Indies, not just AAA current gen games), means lineup of that platform is more apealing and that lead to more desairible product and better sales. I wouldnt be woried about Switch momentum on your place, Switch in 2018. sold more than it did in 2017. and in 2019. will sell more than it did in 2018.

You were talking about 3rd party support being bad so I dont see how "Nintendo games sell alot" is really relevant.

Everytime a new major Nintendo IP releases we have people saying Nintendo has released all their system sellers.

It happened after launch when people were saying Switch sales would drop because all the hardcore Nintendo fans got one for Zelda. Then it happened again after the holidays when people said that all the Nintendo fans got a Switch in 2017 for Zelda, Mario Kart, Splatoon & Mario Odyssey. It's happening again now that Pokemon Let's Go and Smash have released and it will happen this time next year after Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion & a new gen Pokemon release.

And the thing so many people ignore is the strength of evergreens. Those big games from 2017 were moving consoles in 2018 and the big 2017/2018 games will be moving consoles in 2019. Evergreens and a steady stream of small-medium games can keep sales strong even when there is a drought of major system sellers.

A prime example of this is Q1-Q3 of last year when  Switch sold 7.25 million with the biggest new release selling like 2 million.

Then there is always price cuts and revisions that can and will keep momentum going.

And like you said, many 3rd parties have just been safe late ports but this year we are beginning to see more day and date titles and exclusives so I dont see how 3rd party support can in anyway be seen as getting worse. 

Interesting how it change spots with ps4 every 6 months.
