Holy shit thats great news! This is one of the best roguelike / twinstick shooters around. Even though I bought it on PS4 day 1 the temptation to double dip on Switch is very real.
Switch owners showing they have great taste.

Only played a tiny bit of it so far (co-op), but it was super fun. I look forward to playing more, but I am glad that it''s doing well
At this point, if we couldn't do so before, I think we can safely just say the Switch is a very healthy platform with a crapload of engaged, active users. The "starved for games" angle really, REALLY no longer works.
Enter the Gungeon charted in almost every regional eShop it sold in, so that one did surprise me.
Now I'm stuck whether to get this along with Minecraft or Minecraft and Rocket League when I get a Switch.
Do we know what the Switch's attach rate is? I have to imagine that it's pretty damn high.
Congrats to the team!

Well, there have been a lot of developers that haven't stated anything at all but almost every developer I recall speaking out about their sales have said they were all above expectations.
Don't forget Sonic Mania. Sonic, Minecraft, and Overcooked I don't think have left the top 15 best sellers in the NA eShop since they've released and I can't imagine Rocket League dropping for a long time either.
That's mighty impressive! In just two weeks? Wow... Switch is looking like an awesome choice for indie developers out there!
yeah, this hasn't even passed rocket league in any major areas right?
That's probably done at least 100k in these same two weeks.
"We don't know what the developers expectations were!"
"Just because expectations were surpassed, it doesn't mean it's a success!"
Definitely feeling Hollow Knight will do very well on the platform. Hopefully it's not too far off.
How could you forget "Switch owners are starving for games because there are no games."?

Such is the way of the Switch.
Oh yeah Sonic Mania has been hanging in there as well. It's too bad Nintendo doesn't report digital sales, we'll have to look for their revenue.
Put a few hours into it earlier this week, its a really great buy for the price ( especially glad they didnt add on a massive switch tax), can't wait till crypt of the necrodancer and darkest dungeon hit the switch too.
The "big update" isnt out on other systems yet.
Due to the nature of the Switch release they were able to include it at launch. The rest will get it early 2018.
They have, but overall they got the most staying power with or without being on the chart. Same with Stardew Valley.
Wait the whole expansion update is out on switch? I thought only some parts of it were out.
While 75k is a very good number, shouldn't the 6th best selling game on the platform sell more than 30k a week?
Edit: sorry, my bad. I read as 6th in global chart, not Dutch.
Oh wow, really? I could've sworn at the very least Overcooked has never left, but I don't check it that frequently like some people in the eShop threads do.

OP
Advanced Gungeons and Dragons comes out early 2018 and will be avaliable on all platforms at roughly the same time.
If indies see this and start developing now, by the time their game came out would something like this still be possible on Switch. I'm still doubtful about how Nintendo is going to handle the eshop when it gets flooded with games. Valve certainly hasn't done the best job. Sony's done an okayish job. I don't have a current gen MS console so can't comment on that.
How does this play on the Switch? I've been interested in it, but unsure. I really loved Nuclear Throne and played that with a mouse and keyboard. Similar?
that's one area. And things change as the months change
But to your point, no
30k a week for a game would be 1.5 million a year digitally.
