Are you 12? Even by Era-standards, your response is clownishly immature. You're ignoring my points and targeting only strawmen and superficial details... all while being inconsistent at the same time. I'm surprised you didn't go after my typos.
Lol what? michaeljordanlaugh.gif
-You tell me not to make up facts, just after saying Fifa Switch charted "probably" in Germany. You couldn't even go one sentence with contradicting yourself? Good job.
Lol, what's the contradiction? FIFA 20 Legacy did charted in Europe. It's there in the charts. While NBA 2K didn't in US. How's that hard to understand. You're trying to find a lame ass excuse and intellectual dishonesty to downplay it and prove your bias. Your overraction is funny, lol.
- I never suggested that NBA 2K was selling more on Switch. Since you seem to deny my premise...So are you suggesting that Madden, Ghost Recon and Borderlands are selling better on XB1 than on the PS4? They are charting higher.
Well, what are you trying to prove then? It's well known third-party don't sell as well the other platforms but you seems to suggest otherwise when you claim they're off chart eclipsed by Nintendo titles. It's interesting because there's two missing Switch exclusives out of the chart and there's no info to support Switch versions are a big share of the sales in the top 20.
-Does my point really change if there are 6 exclusives instead of 7? You may have also noticed that BotW was the Switch's 7th best selling title, so the detail still stands. And 2 old ports did chart in the Switch the Top 10, which is the chart you were crying about third party games not charting in.
Yes, it does. You clearly said Nintendo exclusives dominate the charts eclipsing everything else in return. If that was the case then the two Switch old ports would have easily charted in the top 20, and they don't. The only third-party game that seems to have sold well enough to influence the top 20 numbers is Overwatch. Everything else not so much, but you try to say otherwise. Don't try to backtrack on what you said, the data in the charts contradicts your allegation.
- Do "people buying Switch only play Nintendo games" or do "they do buy third-party games..."? Try to be a tiny bit consistent here. People are trying to point the multifaceted reason why things sell the way the do, but you are hellbent on clinging to that old stereotype. Even when you have to contradict yourself over it, you won't let it go.
Both of them. There is a share only buying Nintendo titles, as Nintendo games have a big software tie ratio in contrast to third-parties. In the other hand, despite this situation, third-parties still sell decently, but anywhere close to PS4/XBO level. I never said every single Nintendo owner don't buy third-party games, but you seem to look for an excuse to deny there's a share who only play Nintendo games and nothing else. Even on Era, there's plenty of people openly admiting this.
I'm being consistent, you're just interpreting things according to your own personal bias.
There are many reason why games sell the way they do. Userbase is one of the biggest issues... Especially when a game is expected to sell massive numbers up front. The Switch's userbase is a little more than half of either the PS4's or XB1's in the US. It's userbase is bigger than either system in Japan. Which is we it tends to dominate there. It's also bigger than the XB1 in Europe (with the exception of UK). Which is why we routinely see its games beating it the XB1 versions there, too. We can expect Switch games to continue to make up more and more of the market as it grows.
Userbase isn't an issue for indie games, because sales are generally limited/niche. If an indie game sells 100k combined, it's a massive success. While a version of an AAA game selling 1 million will have people question why they bothered. Indie game sales are reported on globally at the indie team's convenience or the game's milestones and not up front.
Good part, but still, it can be questionated.
I'm not saying every single Switch owner don't buy third-party games, this is poor interpretation, but a considerable amount of it's userbase really don't. This is a problem that needs to change. Some big AAA titles, like FIFA and NBA, seems to be affected by Nintendo's userbase lack of confidence in big third-part titles. Proportionally, even with a smaller userbase, those games don't sell as well as they do on PS4/XBO. Bigger or smaller userbase isn't the issue for this matter. The reasons are multiple, from Nintendo itself, it's audience incredulity and third-parties lack of effort. We can only hope this changes in a long run.
But this idea that Nintendo gamers don't buy third party games isn't true, was never true, and needs to die.
Which proves you misundertood my point because I never meant that and your unneeded and silly overraction is juvenile and typical of someone who can't have a serious conversation. Grow up.
