The difference in success of how the Nintendo Switch is doing compared to the Wii U is like night and day. In fact it seems that at the rate the Switch is selling, Nintendo had previously expressed their belief that the Switch could easily outsell the Wii U’s lifetime sales within a year, a figure that took the Wii U about 5 years to hit.In fact Nintendo seems to be particularly upbeat about the Switch, and we guess rightfully so. During the company’s recent earnings call, Nintendo President Tatsumi Kimishima revealed that the Switch currently has over 300 software publishers who are developing titles for the console. He also revealed that the company had a ton of games in the works, ranging from titles aimed at children, families, men and women, and varying age groups.
Kimishima was quoted as saying, “This is just some of the lineup that has been announced. As you can see, the wide variety of genres among the titles will further increase interest for Nintendo Switch. Having a broader consumer base will make it even easier for software publishers to do business. We are also continuing our work to establish a collaborative framework that facilitates the creation of more successful titles for our software publisher partners.”
That being said, the Switch has managed to attract some pretty surprising titles, at least titles no one would have really expected to arrive on a Nintendo console. For example Bethesda will be bringing titles like Skyrim, DOOM, and Wolfenstein II onto the platform. Recently it was also confirmed that Rocket League will be officially launching on the Switch come 14th of November.
