Death Squared sold more on Switch in its first three days than all other platforms
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 7 Comments
Many indie developers have come out this week to share success stories about their games on Switch. The teams behind Wonder Boy, forma.8, and Oceanhorn have all seen higher sales on the platform compared to other consoles.
You can add Death Squared to the mix as well. In a series of tweets yesterday, the studio outlined how the Switch version sold more in its first three days than all other platforms.
SMG Studio said:
that could say more about how badly we did on the other platforms though. But we found the Nintendo audience much more "into" the game
— SMG @ #PAXWEST (@smgstudio) September 13, 2017
Interesting though that sales on other platforms only rose slightly with the increased press/buzz. Guessing non Nintendo users tuned out
— SMG @ #PAXWEST (@smgstudio) September 13, 2017
We've hit the tail for Switch now and still selling more per day than all the other platforms combined by 200-500%
