Just below this was Octopath\u00a0Traveler &#8211; a game which has had a surprisingly\u00a0successful launch, even causing its publisher Square Enix to issue <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2018\/07\/square_enix_issues_apology_after_underestimating_huge_octopath_traveler_demand\">an apology<\/a> after stock shortages.<\/p>\n<p>Fourth place sees a nice re-entry for Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, with Switch and 3DS versions both being released on the same day. The Switch version accounted for 93% of its sales, leaving the 3DS version\u00a0quite far behind on just 7%.
