German October 2017 only just got released publicly.
To be fair, it's just my personal observation going by a combination of the handful of guesstimates and numbers we do know, as well as my own gut feeling, especially after knowing how (underwhelming) FIFA sold. Sales wise, I don't think DOOM has set the world alight on the Switch however, I would thoroughly love to be proven wrong!
Going forward, I'd love to see as many Bethesda published games on the Switch as possible.
Holy wauw at that first week for BF. With increased digital and bad WoM I expect mjeh things.

'Call of Duty: WWII' camps out the top stop for a third week
Activision Blizzard's 'Call of Duty: WWII' retains the No1 spot for a third week since launch, narrowly holding off EA's 'Star Wars Battlefront II' which launched on Tuesday and Friday this week for PS4, Xbox One and PC.
EA drop one place to No3 with 'FIFA 18'. Nintendo debut in similar positions to last year's Pokemon Sun/Moon with 'Pokemon Ultra Sun' debuting at No4 and 'Pokemon Ultra Moon' at No5. Other new entries this week include EA's PS4/Xbox One 'The Sims 4' at No7, Rockstar/Take 2's PS4, Xbox One and Switch 'L.A. Noire Remastered' at No8 and Warner's PS4, Xbox One 'Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2' in at No10.
Bethesda's PS4 'The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR' debuts at No19 as the most successful 3rd party week 1 launch for a VR-required title on PS4 (Sony's 2016 launch title 'Playstation VR Worlds' is No1 and 2017's 'Farpoint' is No2). On other PS VR related news, Sony's 'Playstation VR Worlds' shoots back in to the charts at No21on the back of massive promotional activity, centrered around the PS VR headset. Bethesda's Switch version of 'The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim' is the last of the new releases within the Top 40, debuting at No26.

I would have loved Skyrim but in all honesty having it already on many formats meant there was no way I could justify the £40 price tag, nearer £25 I would certainly have bitten.
CoD is back.
Also, Skyrim continues to sell no matter the platform.
Oh well the controversy surrounding Battlefront didn't help.
Fact or speculation about USUM?

I probably shouldn't be at this point, but surprised at Skyrim Switch not doing too good. Thought for sure it'd at least beat Doom and Skyrim VR.

I never expected a strong opening for these ports, although it is true I had bigger expectations for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim than this launch. I have always thought it is a good fit for the console and a game that will have steady sales over time due to lack of competition in its genre.
Speculation based on both Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon being below FIFA 18.

I am very interested at LA Noire split. Sonic sold more on Switch than PS4 but it is Sonic. A M-rated game like LA noire will be more telling.
I imagine this will be true going forward, but only once it hits a more enticing price point.
Pretty sure they always do that. Vaguely remember it being on 2 spots last year.
Skyrim Switch seems quite disappointing, even by UK standards. Hopefully it's not a worldwide trend.
Quite interested to see the sales split for LA Noire. We should be getting a breakdown since it's broken into the top 10, right?

This makes me happy. It's a very good port and it's a whole different experience to actually be in that world.
They were charging £50 for what is effectively a 6 year old game, one that most people who are interested likely already own on at least one other platform. Great game as it is, that price will likely put at least some potential customers off. I know I'm trying to decide whether I really want to spend £40-£50 on a game I've already bought on another platform.
Well well, I'm kinda surprised SW BF didn't take No.1 spot.
I'm sure digital gives it a great boost but EA would've expected to sell more physical units than CoD in week 3 I imagine.

It didn't stop the remastered versions on PS4/XB1 from selling big, though. You could argue that people don't want to buy the remaster again 1 year later, but even then I would expect more than ~5k sales (if that).
It sold worse than Skyrim VR. There's really no way to spin this. Let's hope this is just limited to UK.
Skyrim has also been undershipped. Amazon doesn't have a copy since launch and 3rd party are selling it 10£ above the initial price.
It seems that it is not a UK only problem. It is unavailable on Amazon.fr until 30/11 and fnac has charged it 15€ above its initial price (65€!) after a few days.

That's true for Amazon, but it's available on Game,Simply games and Thegamecollection so it's still widely available. In the end the price just hurts too much I mean the Remastered ps4 version was as low as £30 on some sites and £34 on Amazon.
I am not selling it is sold out and people are craving for it but it might be in line with their expectations.
How many copies did Pokémon Black 2 White 2 sell during its first week in the UK? What was the percentage drop compared to black and white?
Do we dare estimate an additional 40% digital or is that being too generous?
Possibly, but to me would have made more sense to sell it at less than £30 and try and attract many more of the previous buyers who just wanted it to play on the move they would have sold many more I reckon to easily offset the reduced price, who knows was hoping they would bring Fallout to Switch not sure that will happen now.
"Their expectations" could also refer to the retailers' expectations, which is not the same as Bethesda's and Nintendo's. I honestly don't see Skyrim selling in line with expectations with these numbers tbh.

We've said this time and time again, don't judge a games WW potential just on it's UK performance.
Even a massive 60% digital would bring it below Battlefront's retail debut. The Battlefront launch was probably +400K including digital.
Disappointing debut either way.
I find it odd that the Switch is getting less love over here. I wasn't a fan of the 3DS due to the hardware (preferred the Vita to be honest, love Nintendo's 1st party games on the 3DS though) so I rarely used mine. I love my Switch however - exactly what I wanted in terms of the next Nintendo console/handheld. Only reason why I didn't grab Doom and Skyrim was because I already own both on the PS4 (though I have played Skyrim on the Switch and was super impressed with it).
