Not sure if this might change with Europe (I think Lego Games do the best there), but it's interesting to see a Switch version of a Multiplat do better than the other versions. IS it just Undercover or could this be a good sign?



The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?

I'm the opposite of surprised.

Lego anything does well with the Nintendo audience and there is a lack of games for Switch.

EDIT: Just saw US numbers, it had a shitty opening across all platforms as well. But maybe legs will be better.

Why is this open world lego game sell so little compare to other lego games?

I think small-medium sized indie, Japanese & kid/family titles will do well on Switch so this is no surprise to me but obviously we will get alot of "ya well what else are Switch owners supposed to buy?" type of posts.

The real story here is 1-2 Switch outselling Horizon.

Lego games sell well on Nintendo, plus there aren't that many Switch games around, plus there were other bigger releases on PS4 and XBOne...

Still, great news. At the very least this will be a great signal for 3rd parties that focus on family friendly games.

Given that Battlefield 1's production nearly stopped because EA 'wasn't sure kids knew what WW1 was', let's ask oursevles what a 'family friendly game' is anyway.

See, this is what happens when you release a decent port of a game on the same day as the other versions on a Nintendo console. I wonder when was the last time that ever happened...?

I don't want to be the guy who makes that thread. That can only end so well...
