NPD April 2019: MK11 #1, Days Gone #2, MLB #3. Switch best selling hardware.

- Start date
I hope the success of MK11 on Switch DESTROYS for good that notion that high profile 3rd party games cannot perform on the Switch. Every multi platform games should be on the Switch, no more excuses ! Capcom, Square Enix, EA, Activision, Ubisoft, etc...
Next gen will be interesting. Right now, power wise, switch is hanging on in keeping up with PS4/XB1.Some games would work and some not. But lowering the res and/or halving the framerate plus lowering lighting and textures can get it there decently.
Next gen will be fun to watch though.
The gulf in power between switch and PS5 will be MASSIVE. Taping 10 Switches together might get it there.
I don't expect that .gif will be used anymore, lol.
Err...do you not get that stuff like RE engine straight up doesn't run on the switch? That's an excuse.I hope the success of MK11 on Switch DESTROYS for good that notion that high profile 3rd party games cannot perform on the Switch.

It doesn't run because Capcom hasn't yet made it run, not because it can't.
It doesn't run on Switch because it hasn't been ported to Switch. It runs pretty well on GPDWin2 though, RE Engine is quite scalable to Switch class hardware.
You make several assumptions that very possibly could be wrong:
1. That there is a significant difference between no. 6 and no. 8 in the Switch chart (it could be a small difference, we don't know)
2. That the WiiU version of BOTW had anything close to significant sales (at this stage in the WIiU's life, this one I definitely doubt)
So while of course FF10 sold something elsewhere, it doesn't necessarily have to be much (especially since it is not in any other top 10 except Switch).
You know why I'm here.
KH3 dominates for another month as expected. All hail Nomura. Showing you why he's the true tensai.

Capcom got MT Framework on 3DS along Street Fighter IV and two Resident Evil games and yet said "lol Wii can't run the RE5 title screen"as for not bringing RE5 to Wii.
Then admitted to be surprised at what Cavia did with Darkside Chronicles.
So sometimes not even them know what can be done with hardware. :p

And what, except "past Nintendo consoles" (which the Switch audience is significantly different from) are you basing this on?
Also, as they later said, they didn't mean the latter
No doubt it would. It's a series with a 25 year pedigree.
Even if they did hire a domestic abuser and Sandy Hook truther to play Sonya.
Yes it definitely is.
Fantastic month of software for the console and all 3 consoles in general.

Is Labo VR the first VR title to chart at all in the NPDs ?
I would have assumed if any title would have it would be Astrobot, but i cant find it in the October 2018 video mat made.

Yeah actually that's fair. a lot of third party big games on switch so far have been late to the game 'tests'.
I keep forgetting Nintendo's digital sales aren't included. Genuinely curious where SSB: Ultimate would be charting if they divulged those digits. One of the few major AAA Switch releases my little circle of friends and I elected to purchase digitally.
Also... pleasantly surprised by Days Gone's performance. Truth be told, I was part of the crowd who expected a "bomb" (i.e. not in the traditional sense, but rather noticeably underperform when compared to a majority of Sony's first-party offerings). Happy to be proven wrong--not just with the game's sales, but also its quality; Days Gone is more than I thought it'd be.
And Mortal Kombat 11... number 1... on the Switch??! Another shocker, honestly. The audience supporting this device may have a more eclectic appetite than some publishers figured, and I can only hope the success of this day & date release will give studios a bit more confidence to pursue Nintendo's platform as a viable and worthwhile means of generating revenue. Can't speak for everyone, but I certainly would opt for portability in lieu of greater graphical fidelity (the simple conveniency of the product is just so immediately appealing to me). Of course, there's also the possibility that the window for these AAA multiplatform releases is slowly closing with the impending launch of next generation hardware...
Not sure what the future holds for the Switch in that regard, but for now I hope publishers will make the most of this potentially limited opportunity.

Do we know the breakdown across consoles? Is it safe to assume for MK11 it went PS4>XB1>Switch?
Isn't this kind of an elephant in the room? It's #3 for the year with only physical sales, on PC...
And this? At #2. Isn't digital purchases quite common on Switch?
Yep. Blame Nintendo for not reporting digital sales numbers. Smash may actually have been on top of MK11, or not. We just don't know.
Doesn't Nintendo publish Minecraft on Switch? They, as a publisher, don't share digital sales, while Warner Bros does.
Because Microsoft, alongside sony, Sega and Altus do not provide digital sales for switch to NPD.

Mortal Kombat 11 on that immediate jump to #2 YTD, goddamn! Game's not perfect but it still manages to be my #2 favorite game of the year so far (behind RE2). I'm sticking with it a lot longer than most fighters and I'm finding it to be satisfying to try and learn.
Next gen is a different story. We're talking this gen. We had enough examples of highly demanding games such as Doom, Wolfensteim, MK11 or Hellblade coming to the Switch. So this proves that if 3rd party devs wanted to have their games on the Switch, they'll find a way to make it happen.,
"Plenty" of reasons such as...
I'm still don't understand why Sony appears releasing content on Xbox Digital, or I'm reading it wrong?
Good to see MK11 take the #1 spot. Also nice to see Days Gone at #2 considering how long Sony Bend has been working on the game.I saw a ton of commercials for both days during the playoffs.
It had a lower first month, but that's because it had a much shorter month. Mat seemed confident about MK11 selling as much or more in the same time frame.
I got corrected by the post right below mine, but still thanks :)

Final Fantasy 9 not being on there or switch hurts my soul
LA Noire is not really an open world sandbox game. Yes the world is big but there isn't anything to do outside of the story and some random side crime busts.
great that the MK11 switch port turned out to sell well. also wow interesting that FFX/X-2 HD charted on switch and is 16 overall (so mostly because of switch?). hopefully this means we will get a few more FF ports (V, IV, tactics, XIII, VI!)
Brilliant result for Bend and Days Gone! Sony will be chuffed with this, especially after just 9 days. You simply can't downplay this, in any way shape or form, but people are trying it seems. And MK still still doing the business after all these years is super impressive! Its 25 years since i worked on the Amiga version of MK2!
Part of Era is still trying to make it a flop in this thread, it seems.

Wow, never thought I'd seen the day where the US had better taste than Europe.
So happy for Bend! I have really enjoyed the game a lot as I get near to completing it.
Hopefully we are looking at 2.5m+ debut month worldwide.
Days Gone 2 on PS5 is a no brainer with the solid foundation they have built
