- The total for the Top 20 for 2019 was 11.69M so by mid-year we are less than 1.5M away.
- All titles in the Top 20 have hit 100K, last year we had games mid-year in the Top 20 that were just above 50K
- Ring Fit Adventure & Pokemon Sword/Shield are very likely to hit 1M this year
- In the case of Ring Fit Adventure with ample supply, it could actually finish much higher
- Clubhouse Games is looking like it will clear 500K in 2020 with ease
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Smash Ultimate, Minecraft are all titles that should clear 500K
- Splatoon 2 and Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training have a shot at 500K as well.
Titles in Launched in Q3 that should clear 200K in 2020:
- eBaseball Power Pros 2020, Konami's previous effort sold 200K on the Switch in 2019
- Paper Mario, only the Wii U entry in this franchise has sold under 200K
- Captain Tsubasa, it's football + anime - personally I can see this as one of the biggest under-the-radar 3rd party games this year
