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.

Isn't this the opposite? MH is the biggest franchise in Japan and Momotaro is kind of a phenomenom. You would want a more regular spread of smashes to evidence this.
