Indie game are doing particularly well on the Nintendo Switch at the moment and another example of this is Death Squared. The developers behind the game have stated that the title has received a 500% boost in sales during the Christmas period, which is extremely encouraging. The developers are slightly staggered as the game received very little promotion.
Sales of Death Squared on Switch up 5x (or 500%!!!! 😲) during Xmas period. New Switch owners and gift card receivers? Pretty good considering no promotion, sale or visibility. #NintendoSwitch #indiegame pic.twitter.com/oXL3XYsVgD

Sales up:
500% = x5
400% = x4
…
Sales UP 100% = x1, so they are the same
Sales UP 50% = x0,5, so they are halved
Uh… No. “Up 50%” does not mean sales are halved, it means they’re 1 and a half times. If sales are up 100% it doesn’t mean they’re steady, it means sales have doubled. God’s sake.
“Sales of Death Squared on Switch up 5x (or 500%!!!!”
if up 500% = x5, then up 50% = x0,5.
According to Death Squared dev team. Also its funny how no one reads an article post they are commenting below xd

Perhaps I should be ashamed I’ve barely heard of this game and initially had 0 interest in it?
||No, especially since this tribe barely cared to advertise it to begin with so why should you?…||
The game never really grabbed me. Is it good ?
This could actually mean 10 sales
500% on an unknown software? What is that? $500 extra sales? lol JK. But WTF is this?
I HATE when percentages are used with no numbers to back it up. Talk about giving out half of the information.
