Top 30

NSW 26 (10 of which are third party)
PS4 4 (3 of which are third party)

This week 10/13 = 77% of third party games are on the Switch.  For about 3 months now, the Switch has consistently had 60-80% of the third party games in the top 30.  This week is no different.  Switch is currently dominating in every way and that includes third party titles.

I'm all for the Switch having 3rd party games, I'm glad it does but if sales aren't high enough for some of them, I expect 3rd parties to pull back sadly.

Here is an example from this week's chart:

06./08. [NSW] eBaseball Powerful Pro Baseball 2020 <SPT> (Konami) {2020.07.09} (¥6.980) - 16.444 / 190.925 <80-100%> (+6%)

14./10. [PS4] eBaseball Powerful Pro Baseball 2020 <SPT> (Konami) {2020.07.09} (¥7.980) - 9.012 / 165.168 <80-100%> (-9%)

The Switch version has better total sales and has much better legs than the PS4 version.  Why wouldn't third parties want to put out a Switch version?  That is where the better sales are.
