Well cyberpunk released for Xbox in 2020 so Switch 2 version selling more than Xbox version in 2025 was expected but I'm surprised it's only a 1% difference. I thought Switch 2 version would be above Playstation as well

The PS base had like a 10:1 size advantage over Switch 2 in 2025.

And likely pretty much already sold to all of those that wanted it, yet it still beats it comfortably.

Install base is a lot less relavant than the actual public interested on a game it has yet to convice buying, if it was there for many years most of it already owns it.

The former point applies to Switch 2 as well though, as those who bought it there have had the option of picking it up elsewhere for years already.

It's also full price on Switch 2 but goes on deep discount on the other platforms.

No advantage at all, userbase size is quite meaningless for such old titles, the userbase from XBOX had several years to purchase the game, in fact they already did. 

Having twice as many potential customers is absolutely significant; and the audience having had years to purchase the game also holds true for Switch 2; it's still a  port of a 5 year game and Switch 2 players have had the option to pick it up on PC/PS/Xbox for half a decade.

Whatever narrative helps you to sleep at night my friend!

Okay there seems to be a misunderstanding here.

Nobody is saying "OMG Switch is dominating Cyberpunk/Witcher 3 sales", this isn't a hype thread or anything.

It's simply a platform breakdown, with the fact that Switch sales are above Xbox noted simply because historically the opposite has been true for big Western AAA titles like these.

That's all, let's take a step back and chill.

Wow, switch 2 sales are way above my expectation.

PS5 and PC are expected, but Switch 2 is a surprise. Xbox is dead, no surprise...

Anyone remember how abysmal were AAA 3rd party sales during WiiU 1st year? This a huge improvement compared to that time. After the big exodus on Wii U, seeing that support growing year after year really shows that the confidence on Nintendo platforms is being restored

I suppose this is by units sold, not revenue?

Switch/Switch 2 being above XBox is a good baseline for Nintendo as the XBox is a 3rd party driven platform.

Xbox version was 5th year old, not really a fair comparison. We needed to compare Xbox first year sales vs Switch 2 first year sales 

From the graph it looks like the Xbox version sold somewhere around 4x the number of copies in 2020 vs the Switch in 2025. The install base was much higher though, although the Xbox one version was basically unplayable.

Going by the graphs on their report, Cyberpunk is in sales, Witcher 3 is in revenue. Will add that to the OP.

Presumably revenue would be higher than 10% for the former on Switch 2 as it was $70 and didn't get any many discounts.
