Peach did amazing higher than MariovsDK
Dragon's Dogma 2 sold 4 times less on PS than the first game
Rise of the ronin doesn't look good

Crazy week honestly, peach is doing better in Japan than expected and than in the west (which is kinda expected since the whole female lead hype is just social media only thing)

Peach sold around 10,000 more with six times the user base. So it's kind of weird to argue that it did 'amazing' and the other two did bad. Taking the user base into account you would expect a far higher difference actually.

You are comparing userbase while not comparing marketing budget and anticipation, DD2 was #1 most anticipated for 3 weeks in a row 3 times more than peach, add that to the fact that DD2 And Ronin didn't boost PS5 Hardware sale in fact it decreased while Switch increased as per usual

Sure there are several factors, but the user base is one of them too. 30 million Switch consoles vs 5 million PS5s is a context to keep in mind when directly comparing sales.

Peach had 77k, DD2 68k, and rise 64k...i like how one's amazing and one not looking good.

And wulong launched on ps4 and 5 combined at 47k...so i don't know how 64k only on PS5 for rise is not looking good.

Nintendo logic is amazing. Same level of cope as when Bayonetta 3 launched to 41k....

Review - Princess Peach: Showtime! (Switch) | WayTooManyGames

WTMG's Oliver Shellding: "I absolutely love this for Peach. She’s a fantastic character, and her personality really shined in Super Mario Odyssey, The Super Mario Bros Movie and here, now, with Princess Peach: Showtime! This is such a trip of a title where it feels like the player is doing absolutely everything under the sun. You get to have that passion for every incarnation for just a short time, then move on to something different. Being able to sample so many interactions and scenarios keeps the game fresh from start to finish, allowing players to revel and replay the plays they enjoy and just quickly bust through the ones they don’t. There’s charm, there’s cuteness, there’s a generous difficulty curve and there’s a plot that passes the Bechdel test. This is the right step forward for Peach into the spotlight, and I hope Showtime! is the first of many more adventures to come."

Game has some issues tho and its not the GOTY everyone hoped.

Small enemy variety.
Very poor endgame. Its just Caelid with some bosses.
Fun classes like Assassin and Magic Knight gone
One weapon type per class.

Overall its a great game.
