Axiom Verge Switch eShop sales nearing PS4 launch sales - could overtake them with physical units
- Thread starter Jonneh
- Start date
Because it's a statement from the developer. It's also impressive when a port of an indie game that launched 3 years ago can reach its initial launch performance in just a couple of months.
Yes, no matter how you purchase it, you support the developer's son.
I don't mean this in a negative way or anything. But if we're being practical this type of tweet from Tom Happ gets picked up by gaming news/sites and probably keeps helping them sell more copies.
More like: "Switch continues to be a very successful platform for indies, Nintendo still doomed."
It's always really easy to make these sorts of statements after reading the stat.
Ok then digital it is. This seems like the type of game that would be perfect for a digital format. And the bosses look beautiful.
Great news. It's a great game. I loved some of the new upgrades and stuff, and the atmosphere was awesome. Wish I could spend more time with new content in the universe.
the general gist is that these late ports on Switch are selling so well that they're getting sales similar to when the games actually launched for the first time
vague in terms of hard data but pretty clear in terms of the point being made
That's great news for NoA2! (I find it less surprising for the two others)
WOW, especially for Azure 2! Really shows that there's a very good JRPG audience on Switch. I'm not sure if there was even a prior Nintendo system like this, at least since the SNES. Did the DS or 3DS have that kind of JRPG success, literally having multiplat JRPGs sell more on DS or 3DS than other systems, or whatever?
What about Fate/Extella? Any insight on that game's performance on Switch versus PS4 and Vita?
This was my second copy and if the previously announced Wii U version ever does release in the US, I'll pick it up as well.
Well, I have the physical version on PC, but this might be worth a double dip since I never actually played it. Is it better than The Mummy? I didn't like that at all...
Glad for his son, I was planning to wait a while for this one but the statement got me buying it right away!
I'm not a big fan of either game, but yes, Axiom Verge is much better.
It's always really easy to make these sorts of statements because there are hundreds of examples from the last decade or so to use as prior experience
I would say that, on the average, a Switch user is more likely to see this kind of content on their Nintendo platform as "premium content" worth paying a higher price for.
Hold up! You mean to tell me NoA2 sold more on Switch!? Is the series going to live on!?
Also, good result for Axiom Verge. The thing that gets me is that indie games keep piling up on the Switch. It's gonna need a better way to highlight them alongside good curation and proper scheduling.
I would imagine, since they're happy about those numbers, that it would be an equal or lesser timeframe. Indies aren't in the practice of making bad press for themselves.
Same thing happened with puyo puyo tetris. Game did 100k in the us on switch.
No clue about fate extella. Amazon positioning seemed fairly strong but amazon is no longer a huge player like it was 2 years ago.
Was living under a rock the past few weeks and didnt realize this came out on switch! I need to buy later
Any idea about how Sonic Forces did by any chance? History shows that will have easily done best on Switch.
