I second this.
Only with graphics and frame rate. All features are in the game. I expect it to do better than FIFA, personally. I think people want the full experience even if they lose some graphic fidelity.

really happy xenoverse 2 is doing well. It was #4 at some point. Not for overall monthly sales but just for a week.
Maybe it just sold gangbusters (let's hope so)!

May I have a cookie?
Do the motion controls work as well as in the trailer?

Agree. It also has the same physics and essentially plays the same, whereas FIFA is a custom version that feels totally different according to the impressions/reviews I saw.

Well I bought the top 4 on the eshop, so I guess I'm the average Switch owner?
Very impressive result for Golf Story.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
Out of the top 5, I easily recommend Steamworld Dig 2 the most. I would even argue that SD2 is a higher quality Metroidvania than Samus Returns.
How's Snake Pass doing? It's still one of my favorite Switch games.

good with gravy
Surprisingly 3rd party heavy.
This is a reason I think why Nintendo is not hurrying up to release VC on Switch. It gobbles up gaming time and money.

Seeing that even Mario bros made the charts. I actually do think it's good that's there's no VC yet. Otherwise the charts would've been cluttered with all the Nintendo classics, and could've potentially affected exposure for all the third party/indie games.
I don't want to sound too soppy here, but that's a top 3 that makes me heart absolutely glow.
Rabbids - Who would have thought this monstrosity of an idea would turn into such a charming, blindingly brilliant strategy game? I love Mario, I love strategy games, I love
, damn I just loved this whole game.
Sonic Mania - How long have we waited for a return to glory for Sonic? The game feels like a bit of a miracle itself.
Golf Story - As an avid golfer and classic game lover, this one is straight out of my wildest dreams.
So, not only do all of these games exist, they were also all successful. What a time to be alive.

This game has polish for days. It's kind of incredible to see an indie studio pulling it off this well.
agreeeeeed. very fun pso lite lobby, questing, loot loop

Yeah, seeing Golf Story crack top 3 anything in addition to being released late in the months is very heartening. Is this still a result of the relative Switch game dearth, or an indication of the types of games Switch owners gravitate towards?

FIFA has been consistently in the top 10 best selling games of the year in the USA for a few years now.

I still haven't bought Golf Story 😡
I will never understand how a game that had two brief mentions in Nintendo Directs and seemingly no other marketing whatsoever managed to build up so much hype... and then completely live up to it! Even in the directs and on other social media, I saw way more traction behind Steam World Dig 2, which was also excellent, and was coming off the heels of a successful predecessor. How Golf Story came out of nowhere and ended up being even bigger, it's just a mystery to me.

Overcooked must be doing amazing because it has been near the top since it released.
Awesome that there is so much available on the console.

Steamworld should be higher.

Nice for rabbids. What a diverse list. Really good to see a NBA 2k18 up there even with all its issues. The core gameplay/presentation is great.
Minecraft is likely going to be in the top ten for the entire life of the switch though.

Makes me really sad that NeuroVoider didnt list at all. Amazing game thats perfect for the Switch.
Own Rabbids, Golf Story, and Steamworld. Theyre all amazing games and Im really really happy that the Switch is getting so many indie games. As I get older, the more I enjoy indies over AAA games.

It was the right game on the right platform at the right time.
There was an untapped demand for a Mario Golf sequel, zero competition in that genre, and it's a perfect fit for a portable. It's also a full exclusive at a time when players are very interested in exclusive software.
Neurovoider did great, sold over the steam lifetime sales in a month (18k units give or take): http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1445819&highlight=neurovoider
