This year's Top 20 Third Party games have already surpassed 2020's Top 20. With Rise and Momotaro making up nearly 3/4 of the 4 million, just goes to show that it is not that complicated to find big hits on the system. By the end of the year I expect that 2021 for Third Parties will surpass the combined Top 20 from 2017 to 2020.
