@Goodtwin, why the hell aren't there any numbers for DOOM and Skyrim's digital sales or U.S. sales? All we have are the UK sales, which doesn't mean shit since A) it doesn't account for digital sales and B) the Switch isn't even popular in the UK.
To be honest, I'm worried that they aren't doing well here either. I'm not sure yet, but if that's the case, then I'm going to be pissed. One of the reasons I want a Switch is because I'm hardly home most of the time and I really want a way to play my favorite games without being home. One of the reasons my mom bought me a PSP when I was growing up is because we went on a lot of road trips, and I was more incentivized to buy a PSP due to the fact that a lot of my favorite console franchises were on it compared to the DS. If said favorite games [DOOM] aren't doing well on the Switch, then that suggests that A) Switch owners don't buy Mature rated games, which would be incredibly strange due to the average age range of Switch owners (and no, it has nothing to do with being "niche" or "unique," anybody who says that needs to get off their high horse; people who say shit like that are the gaming equivalent to people who say that racial genetics play a role in IQ gaps), and B) due to that, 3rd parties will be less enticed to port M rated titles to the Switch.
A solution to the sales gap, if it exists (again, I'm not sure), between titles like DOOM and Skyrim and titles like Ultra Street Fighter II would probably be for Nintendo to invest into their own titles for the particular brand of gamer who buys titles like DOOM and Skyrim. See my IP idea thread.
