Yep, even with a much larger investment into Anime games, Sony will still struggle to maintain 20% market share in terms of hardware which will lead to Software being lopsided in Nintendo's favor. Nintendo obviously sales the bulk of software on the Switch but that's mainly because of the subpar support. The rest of the year there is actually plenty of 3rd Party games releasing that could do very well. While on the PS4/PS5, I struggle to think of a game that's going to surpass 300K the rest of the year. Seemingly that Ghost of Tsushima will probably be the last game to reach 300K on the PS4 and I don't think any game revelaed this year on the PS5 will sale more than 300K, there is probably a cross-gen title that could do it on the PS4/PS5
