Fantastic hardware numbers and even more awesome 1st party sales. A few notes from this data:

- Top 10 1st party Switch games sums between them 131'54M from the 310'65M total, a 42%. Wikipedia says Switch has around 2000 games in total..., so around 2000 games have sold the 179'11M left. The disparity between 1st party and 3rd party must be enormous. I wonder how many Switch games have surpassed 1M in sales....

- From Nintendo games, the most surprising number in sales for me is Super Mario Party with more than 9M units sold. It's obvious that mutiplayer games are working very well for Nintendo (MK 8 DX 22M, SSBU with 17M, Splatoon with 9M...).

- Pokemon Sword & Shield with 16M in just a few weeks is ridiculous...., but i don't expect Pokemon games to have muchmore legs, at least not like Zelda, MK or Smash, so we'll see where the game ends in the rankings.

- Luigi's Mansion 3 surpassed everyone expectations in sales and quality. Such a good story for Mario's brother.

- Animal Crossing New Horizons is going to obliterate sales next year, isn't it???

- 52'5M shipped by the end of the year puts Switch around 50M units sold to consumers, so leaving the number around 20'5M in 2019 which is what i expected from months ago. It's obvious Switch Lite and a far better lineup in 2019 than i anticipated (i have to give the reason to all the people that told me this around a year ago a i didn't believed them) helped a lot the sales. 2020 is still an enygma for me. I really don't know what is going to do in 2020.... I still expecting is going to do less than in 2019, but who knows.

All in all, everything is all good on Nintendo Land. Now we need to see what Nintendo is going to do with the second half of Switch life because the first half has put the bar very high and new gen is coming. Interesting times...
