- Animal Crossing did great but I guess I got overhyped about potential digital sales in Japan and ended up below my expectations(still a smash hit).
- Digital for Animal Crossing is around 20-25% in Japan
- Ring Fit Adventure still hasn't realized it real potential due to stock problems
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is seeing strong growth year over year in Japan
- Luigi's Mansion 3 will surpass 1M shipped + digital easily this year
- Smash Ultimate, Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Party & Splatoon 2 continue to sale and will see a boost in the upcoming quarters
- The only major game which we don't have digital data about is Minecraft, which is probably over 2M shipped + digital in Japan(its launch year it was available only digitally)
