It really cements how much of a failure of a concept WiiU was that it held back Nintendos IPs so much
So in this thread I learned there are only 3 games on the Switch.
Little Nightmare is surprisingly high.
Do you really think that people buy Switch mainly because of Wonderboy or Puyo Puyo Tetris? There're only two system sellers on Switch right now Zelda and Mario Kart 8.
I love PAL threads only cuz my ex-gf use to tell me UK and Europe will always be Sony land, but I beg to differ . Great to see that Nintendo is sellig decently all across PAL land. Just need your portable FIFA and PES and were all set right PAL GAF
Eh, not so sure. Xbone has all those games yet the ps4/xbox one ratio in Europe is crazy, Uk being the only exception. I can easily see Switch doing well in Europe given freakin' WiiU was relatively close to Xbox one in Germany, for example. Nintendo DS also did exceptional back then btw. Strong exclusives like Zelda are much, much more important than having those games which would still sell a fraction of what they do on ps4Well, even the 360 outsold the PS3 last gen, so it's not like it's unstoppable there. But Europe as a whole is a different discussion. Outside of lightning in a bottle platforms like the Wii, a console is going to need every major multiplatform game in order to compete in Europe. Last year the big multiplatform games throughout Europe were FIFA, CoD, BF1, The Division, Overwatch, GTAV, FFXV etc. This year we'll see FIFA, CoD, Destiny 2, Battlefront 2, NFS, and hopefully RDR2. Of those the Switch looks like it'll only get a version of one of them. That isn't going to cut it if you're seriously talking about the Switch competing with the PS4 in Europe.
There's a bank holiday in UK today, so it'll likely come tomorrow.No global list this week?

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?
It is really disheartening not to see Dragon Quest Heroes II charting in the top 40.
You can find it on the PlayStation 4 top 20 chart though.

If you're referring to the Switch version, I don't think it's been released yet??

He missed one (Just Dance 2017), so it's close enough.
Was released in the last week of April. The initial discussion was about March charts of Spain and Germany.
So what are the estimates for MK8D.
I mean I remember someone saying MK8 did around 70k so should guaranteed to have a higher opening than Zelda right? (Maybe 80k?)
http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2014-06-09-watch-dogs-is-still-uk-1
01 (01) WATCH DOGS (UBISOFT) - 73,720 / 461,720 (-81%)
PS4 - 28,750
360 - 16,218
XBO - 16,218
Mario Kart 8 first week: Between 58,629 and 67,575.
So those devs with big IPs who are waiting to jump in on a new platform until the installed base is bigger are clearly not thinking straight? In reality it's better for devs of a popular IP if a launch lineup is barren and there is little reason to buy a new console?if Horizon ZD was a PS4 launch title it would be successful aswell but still as a brand new IP not much people would consider it yet while Zelda especially if your a fan of it your going to get it right away

Weird, somehow I own 8.
How many of those 8 are retail games that would show up in the PAL charts?
If SE was a bit smarter they would have made sure that DQH2Pac for Switch is ready for the global launch and runs well enough. They could have sold quite some copies and benefited from the sparse competition... But we'll they aren't the fastest to jump on opportunities like that.It is really disheartening not to see Dragon Quest Heroes II charting in the top 40.

Good for Horizon.
Not bad, Persona.
Yo-Kai Watch does not seem to be much popular in Germany. In contrast, Yo-Kai Watch 2 was the best-selling April game in Spain if we include all sku's, and very likely in France too.
Especially when you know how much Deep Silver fucked up with supply.
