NPD: Switch released more games than PS4+Xbox One combined

Remember how it seemed that there were never any new games out for the Wii U? According to the NPD (National Purchase Diary), the tables have turned. Mat Piscatella, Video Game analyst at the NPD, reported over 1,400 new releases for the Nintendo Switch. For reference, in the same timeframe, the PS4 received 600 new releases, while the Xbox One followed closely behind at 400. This makes the Switch’s new releases over 400. That’s more than both it’s competitors combined!

What about compared to previous Nintendo consoles? While Wii U release counts haven’t been disclosed, a Wii and Switch comparison graph of the first three years was reported. The Wii doesn’t even hit 400 new releases on any year.

Nintendo Switch has games.
Lots of games.

 

Honestly it doesn't even matter, in the batch there are how many games made quickly and that have a less good gameplay than some flash games?
I love the nintendo switch but the eshop is terrible

Give us old games other than NES and SNES classics, Nintendo

 

Nintendo letting any indie schmuck publish a game on the eShop is way different than the misleading title of this article.

 

That is cool. Though is a shame like half of this games are indie games developed in microwaves

 

I wish I could be an indie schmuck and develop a game, even in a microwave, that would lead to Nintendo publishing it.
