Third Parties gained an additional 1.110.263 sales on the Switch since the last update which was Week 13 with Capcom making the big gains thanks to Monster Hunter Rise. With this title Capcom is closing in on Konami with Monster Hunter Stories 2,& Ace Attorney and Rise legs competing with Baseball Spirits, Yu-gi-oh and Momotaro legs.
Doesn't seem like either Monster Hunter Rise or Momotaro will slow down in the summer, so both games are heading for 3.5 million physical sales milestones this year, I expect both titles to have a very strong Obon and December due to the additional content planned for both games and lack of direct competition on the Switch in their genres.
Overall both are in a very healthy state as there is considerable momentum heading into the summer months which they will capitalize on.
Top 10 Publishers:
- Konami - 2.987.649
- Capcom - 2.521.049 (+2)
- Microsoft - 1.940.130 (-1)
- Bandai Namco - 1.828.609 (-1)
- Square Enix - 1.383.335
- Marvelous - 596.518
- Sega - 531.054
- Level 5 - 358.356
- Koei Tecmo - 354.983
- Ubisoft - 213.453
Derby Stallion & Trials of Mana should relinquish their spots in the upcoming weeks as Fitness Boxing 2 & Rune Factory 5 enter the chart. This will allow Marvelous to start closing the gap to Square Enix who don't have any 150K Switch games lined up in the coming summer. While Imagineer should become the #10 publisher on the Switch once both Fitness Boxing & it's sequel are in the Top 30.
The big take away compared to the PlayStation 4 Top 30 is the complete lack of Western third party games outside of Minecraft, Human Fall Flat and a Mario spin-off made by Ubisoft.
