Now that's impressive.
Excellent! Switch gamers got great taste in indies.
Switch owners seem really thirsty for Indies.
Great sales for the Switch! I'm really not surprised by this though. Games like this was made for a console like Switch.
True but I'd expect something more like 2 or 3 to 1. 8 to 1 is insane!
Agreed! I wanna know the sales numbers now. It must be mind blowing. I don't want to make excuses like PS and Xbox have a lot of games they have over Switch to make sense of that large ratio. Regardless, it doesn't matter. That ratio is quite enormous. I'm so proud of the Switch. It's getting games like crazy!
Plus it released 3 days before Smash so people can't use the excuse that it's selling so well on the Switch because it has no AAA games.
I don't know how it can count as outselling other versions when one version is still not even in development.
8 to 1, holy shit. Do we know the total sales of the game?
