Very happy that Sonic Mania continues to do very well and Xenoverse 2 is also doing really well.
It's North America. Xbox platforms probably has the majority of Minecraft players in consoles.
It's been out for quite some time now. It's probably doing better at retail.
Golf Story is such a great game, I've been playing it pretty much non-stop. It has that Earthbound-y feel of characters with silly dialogue and surreal yet plausible situations, mixed with the Yu-Gi-Oh! "Everything revolves around this particular hobby" feeling.
Switch is just making playing games such a joy.

Steamworld Dig 2 is a great game. Hope it continues selling well

Not surprising tbh. Switch fans are hungry for strategy games that mix together Mario with the Raving Rabbids.
Doesn't mean much when these are relative.

So did Golf Story
It says "This news is distributed by Nintendo for our Nintendo Account holders in the Americas."
So it appears to be regional and not merely national.
That means it's for North America, South America and everything in-between.

It's nice to see both Steamworld Dig 2 and Golf Story selling well, but it's curious to me that Golf Story is selling better.
I know both have been received well, but just going off looks alone, Steamworld Dig 2 would appear to be the far more polished and quality game. Maybe Golf Story's lower price is what helps it edge out Steamworld Dig 2? Or maybe just golf is simpler, more relatable and appealing concept.

Wow, Ubisoft must be really happy with the performance MaRabbids.
Also good to see FIFA there.
Golf Story filled the "PLEASE NINTENDO MAKE ANOTHER MARIO GOLF/TENNIS RPG LIKE THE GAME BOY ONES" hole, so its fully backed by the starving Nintendo fans.
While Steamworld Dig 2 is polished and excellent, it's also a Metroidvania, a genre that has probably the most brutal indie competition of all.
Golf Story is truly unique in this day and age. There's no other game like it.
FIFA 18 was retail as well, and it's a pretty big download if you buy it digital. I usually go digital on the Switch, but FIFA 18 was one of those few games that didn't make much sense to me to buy digitally.
Golf Story is a Switch eShop exclusive and costs a quarter of Fifa 18.
Not that difficult to understand why it would perform better on eShop charts.
Steamworld Dig 2 isnt a Switch exclusive. You need a Switch for Golf Story and even though i think SD2 Switch sales are a mayor part of the total sales....its also on PC, PS4 and Vita.
There arent many games like Golf Story out and some fans have been waiting for the return of Camelot type sports rpgs for a while. Its been a long time........
Hah...true.
Not bad at all for Fifa, knowing it could be found for 15 less in physical version, when preordered in France. So this result must be a consequence of the UK and Germany shortage.
Yeah, it's truly unique that a game with so many game breaking bugs get so much sales. I look forward to try to play it again when the patch has arrived.
There's only one game breaking bug. I'm sorry you got it.
ftfy
(Ok, it's pretty much the same thing since there won't be any retail release before the update is live, just let me have my fun! 
)
)Came out on the second last day of September, 29th, at full retail price.
Hit the nail on the head so hard, love the Yu-Gi-Oh! comparison!
Wow, only one Nintendo game and it's at 10th. These are new times for sure. Hopefully third parties continue to thrive on the Switch!
It'd be weird if NBA 2k does better than FIFA imo.
For some reason, I expected Fifa to....well hold its weight and NBA to struggle.
Was 2k gimped at all?
You know thats not the lesson most will learn.
Most 3rd Parties will go Whelp "Only Mario sells on Nintendo systems" and continue to put in 0 care

It probably will seeming as a large chunk of Odyssey will be sold physically.
I would really love to know how well Overcooked has done so far. It was a success on other platforms too but with the two controllers included I could see many people buying and loving Overcooked on Switch. Despite the initial performance problems. Up until recently it was always in the top 10 in Europe.
