There is an interesting list here;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_Nintendo_Switch_video_games
Nintendo includes sales numbers for their successful games in their financial reports so they are well represented but wikipedia also includes 3rd party figures when the publisher has released the numbers.
The top 5 3rd party titles*:
- Monster Hunter Rise
- Starview Valley
- Sulka Game
- Minecraft
- Momotaro Dentetsu: Showa, Heisei, Reiwa Mo Teiban!
* I have overlooked titles like Pokemon and Hyrule Warriors as they are published by Nintendo in some regions.
So the console that has been around for longer and has more units out there in absolute numbers has more games with more than absolute number threshold copies sold than any other console? Is that really surprising?
What about games sold normalized per month and per unit? And how about excluding potentially included titles? And how do you count F2P games that aren’t technically sold?
I am not necessarily saying the Switch isn’t successful, just that these ways of measuring it are strange.
