I've heard My Hero Academia is (from a ratio standpoint) more popular in the West than in Japan but ... my god ... I really expected higher numbers than that?

I love the anime but the game looked rather bad, reminded me of ps2 anime games

We're only now seeing third parties actually moving non-negligible amounts of software on Switch. It's crazy how slow everyone has been to adapt.

Switch Top 5 Third Party Publishers as of June 30, 2018
1. Capcom - 290k
2. Square Enix - 260k
3. Bandai Namco - 260k
4. Koei Tecmo - 200k
5. Konami - 150k

Switch Top 5 Third Party Publishers as of now, 2 months later
1. Bandai Namco - 520k (+260k)
2. Square Enix - 450k (+190k)
3. Capcom - 330k (+40k)
4. Microsoft - 240k (+140k)
5. Koei Tecmo - 200k

Wii U for reference
1. Bandai Namco - 400k
2. Square Enix - 400k
3. Microsoft - 370k
4. Capcom - 260k
5. Koei Tecmo - 220k

What about other consoles? 3DS, Wii, PS4, Vita? Wii U comparisons are laughable.

I dont have exact numbers, but people on Resetera said that Switch is having much better sales than 3DS for same time period despite difference in install base, and that Switch for 18 months sold more games than Wii U in 5 years even without digital sales. In other words, Switch has very good software sales.

I just want to know the 3rd party difference. It is pretty obvious Switch is doing well with SW considering Splatoon 2 and other Nintendo games with legs.

I hope Media create CY 2017 comes out soon with top 1000.



Interesting that recently Zelda has been above both Kirby and Mario Odyssey.



Wondering if Octopath Traveler has already outsold Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
