Apptopia has offered up new data about the performance of Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. Between iOS and Android, the mobile title is said to have been downloaded over 25 million times and has achieved $17 million.

Inversus Deluxe has already sold more copies on Switch than Steam, catching up to PS4

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 1 Comment

Inversus Deluxe is doing very well on Switch. Hypersect told its fans on Twitter that the Switch version has already sold more copies than the Steam version. Thing is, the Switch edition has been around for ten weeks, while the Steam release popped up over a year ago.

Here’s the tweet in question:

After being out for 10 weeks on #NintendoSwitch, INVERSUS has sold more copies than it has in over a year on Steam! (and it has been through multiple large winter/summer/etc sales on Steam)
— INVERSUS (@InversusGame) December 12, 2017

Hypersect also indicated that the Switch version of Inversus Deluxe is quickly catching up to the PlayStation 4 version, which is also more than a year old:

PS4 has also been out for a year and did far better than PC. Switch is on trajectory to overtake but not there yet. Xbox is least populated atm.
