• Sword / Shield dropped off more compared to Momotaro post holiday, at this point its already half way towards a 750K Quarter
• As we can see this Quarter's Software sales are already accelerating ahead of 2020 results with 500K without new releases
• 2020 lacked any major titles outside of New Horizon and to a much lesser extend Pokemon Mystery Dungeon; 
• Ring Fit had supply issues and shipped only 250K copies in the Quarter - already at 150K with 10 weeks left;  
• New Horizon continues to be a factor 
• Bowser's Fury, Olive Town, Bravely Default 2 alone will contribute a considerable amount of Software;
• Disgaea 6, BOND, Densha GO!, Balan Wonderworld ensure we also have a number of smaller profile games that can outperform the likes of Hatsune Miku & Persona 5 Scramble
• Disgaea 6 is the first interesting title to look at as Disgaea 5 saw a huge drop compared to 4, so this is an excellent chance to see if SJRPGs can see growth on the Switch
