A pretty crazy list. Outside of DQVII (PS1), FFVII (PS1), and Monster Hunter Freedom 3 and Unite (PSP), all of the games are from Nintendo platforms (and almost from every generation that Nintendo participated in).
To have 3 games (Smash Ultimate, Pokemon Sw/Sh, and Animal Crossing: NH) that reached the 4 million mark, especially in the current era in which the Japanese market is on the decline compared to generations past. This is also the generation in which the PS4 had arguably the higher ceiling in Japan, especially with basically all the big Japanese third party support (i.e., Kingdom Hearts III, FFVII Remake, FFXV, Tekken 7, DQXI, MHW, P5, Gran Turismo Sport, DMC V, RE7, RE2 Remake, Spider-Man, etc.). Its a remarkable achievement for the Switch to sort of come out of nowhere and provide software and hardware sales numbers that haven't been seen in a while, outside of handhelds.
