Some interesting tidbits about the Switch's software numbers based on Nintendo's own reports:

According to Nintendo themselves, these are the best selling Switch games in Japan (shipped+digital)

1. Animal Crossing: New Horizons - 8.18 million
2. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - 4.82 million
3. Pokemon Sword/Shield - 4.77 million
4. Splatoon 2 - 4.35 million
5. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - 4.04 million
6. Super Mario Odyssey - 2.53 million
7. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - 2.21 million
8. Super Mario Party - 2.07 million
9. Ring Fit Adventure - 1.8 million
10. Super Mario Maker - 1.16+ million*
11. New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe - 1.13 million

(They didn't list Super Mario Maker in their updated Million Sellers list for the fiscal year. But their last figure on the game is still higher than NSMBUD's current figure, so it is still higher.) Will be interesting to see if Pikmin 3 will have any chances of cracking 1 million? Will Age of Calamity be able to do it? And where will Monster Hunter Rise rank on this list?

Oh damn. Sometimes I forget Famitsu doesn't include digital. AC over 8 million, and all of the 3 million sellers over 4 million even MK8D! AC at 9 million and Smash and Pokemon at 5 million by end of year are definitely doable! Also makes me remember that RFA is gonna take a bit longer to pass Mario Party and Zelda and Odyssey because of digital sales, I could see it matching BotW by end of the year though, perhaps around 2.4 million.
