Octopath Traveler: 1.5M
Bravely Default 2: 1M
Fire Emblem TH: 2.9M

I'm glad to see all these RPGs doing well on Switch, should serve as advertisement to other publishers to bring their RPG games to Switch, especially to Namco, bring your Tales of Arise and Elden Ring to Switch Goddamnit!!

That's massive, that is a niche RPG that I never expected to push a million on one system.

Same as the previous game

Bravely Default's 1M copies sold reveals why it has Square Enix reconsidering its Final Fantasy strategy

Square Enix is looking at Bravely Default as a roadmap for its future games thanks to the classic-style RPG's success.

Guess there are limits to the Switch effect.

Glad to see Bobblehad Default 2 sell so well.

And it just came out this year, lifetime sales should be around 1.5M-2M with Switch user base still expanding rapidly

Unfortunately I can't see either of these two happening. Elden Ring would probably need a lot of rework.

Tales of Arise would probably need less rework, but Bandai Namco Studios has shown very little interest in Switch games so far, regardless of genre. Hopefully they change their minds soon.

Game also got a late PC port, I assume this includes those sales as well. But they did say 950,000 on Switch alone which is damn impressive.

YESSSSSSSS!

 

[Captain Toad]

That's not enough given the game's quality and how well Switch games sell.

I'm one of those happy million though.

It will sell more. The game just came out this year

I want this game so fucking bad.

The demo is fantastic.

These HD 2D RPGs they've been making are magical.

 

[Lognor]

That's good to hear! I enjoyed my time with it, but it was pretty forgettable. Hopefully SE continues to make these games though. JRPGs seem to sell very well on the Switch.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Probably would have sold more if they dropped the nenderoid artstyle.

 

[CitizenZ]

Ummmm bubble burst to those thinking its only on one platform.

 

[TheContact]

I loved the first one. I will definitely pick this up once I’m finished with my other 2,000 games in my backlog

I really liked Bravely Default 2 and I was surprised how dark the story got in some of the parts.
