Following Switch‘s recent software update, Nintendo has changed the way the sales charts on the eShop are calculated. Now, instead of counting the number of games sold over the past 48 hours and using that to rank the charts, it instead charts revenue across the previous 72 hours.
This means that games with rock-bottom pricing will no longer show up on the charts, as a $1 game would have to sell 60 copies to match one $60 game sold.
Every time I open up eShop I am astonished how the main place where I am supposed to pay money to Nintendo is literally the slowest, most annoying and unresponsive thing on Switch. I am literally astonished at how they have managed to make it that bad.
Let’s hope they improve it for Switch 2.
God help you if you page too far into the results. Eventually it will just run out of memory and crash.
