01./01. [NSW] Momotaro Dentetsu: Showa, Heisei, Reiwa mo Teiban! - 107.064 / 1.617.601 <80-100%> (+23%) 

Spoiler!

This is the only game on the entire list that was up from last week and the Switch itself is up from last week as well. I don't think that's a coincidence. This game is beginning to take on a life of its own! Even if Monster Hunter Rise inevitably overtakes it when that game comes out, if Momotaro's legs prove to be solid and strong, I could envision it retaking the title for "Best Selling 3rd Party Switch game" later down the road.

02./02. [NSW] Animal Crossing: New Horizons - 36.009 / 6.553.618 <80-100%> (-20%) 

Spoiler!

I did a little bit of digging and Famitsu had New Horizons at ~5.8 million units sold physically by the end of September, while Nintendo had it at ~8.2 million between physical/digital shipments. So, that would mean the 5.8 figure would account for exactly 70.731707% of the game's total sales. Now that it's at ~6.6 million units as of this week, if we applied that percentage here, then the game's complete total should be ~9.3 million now. So when Nintendo posts their next financial data on February 1st, New Horizons should be north of 9 million in Japan. Itching ever closer to that 10.23 million total for Pokémon Red/Green/Blue and the title of "Best Selling Game of All-Time in Japan."

I dont have the numbers in front of me but I believe Minecraft is the top selling game of all time on Japan.
