They've hit over x4 growth in the past six months, while Bandai & Square have made only small gains. If Bandai doesn't have any 200K games on the Switch in the upcoming months - I can totally see them declining further as only Fishing Spirits and Taiko have surpassed 200K. Square does have a fair few titles coming out but so far only Bravely Default 2 seems like it needs to do well so they don't get overtaken mid-year by Marvelous due to Olive Town and Rune Facotry 5 hitting franchise record while Sakuna is surpassing 200K.
Obviously by April there would be one clear winner in 2021. Even though it's taken them a long time to actually deliver support on the Switch, it seems that they are many factors which would make Monster Hunter Rise launch successful. Capcom's strategic pivot in 2021 seems very clear, and they are about to eat. With the current hardware demand still being extremely high, this will probably unlock the Super Saiyan Switch mode, especially if all other games launching are well received - Bowser's Fury, Olive Town, Bravely 2, Rune Factory 5, Snap, SMT V are all games that have potential to move hardware - unlike last year when we didn't have a single 3rd Party game that cleared 200K until H2
