  • Animal Crossing: New Horizon is already close to 50% of the sales of the Top 10 PS4 games.
  • While Nintendo just in 2020 as a publisher has sold over 80% of the lifetime sales of the Top 10 PS4 games. 
  • Support continues to be laughable for Major Japanese 3rd Parties 
  • Smaller publishers are selling a ton at the eShop
  • There is a fair few games that could be refered as evergreens on the eShop(Fitness Boxing, Human Fall Flat, Overcooked 2). 
  • Human Fall Flat(28.12.2017) and Overcooked 2(07.8.2018) have barely left the Top 20 eShop since they released 
  • Fitness Boxing is at 108.688 physical, it likely has at least as many digital sales. 
  • I think while Major Japanese 3rd Parties are losing ground to indie developers and smaller publishers in Japan
  • If they can't bother to constantly release AA games for the Switch they should think about investing in overseas indie developers they can publish in Japan for the Switch
