One major covet with third party rankings I've not included Aniplex who would be in 10th place as a Third Party Publisher. Even though they are releasing games on the Switch and PS4/PS5, mainly because it would make sense to include Pokemon Co in such a case.

Remainder of the year there are plenty of additional third party games so I won't be surprised if the known third party sales within the Top 50 to be above 10 million, as far as market share Switch will account for over 85% of third party sales this year. This marks a very big shift compared to 2020 where Switch only made up around half of third party sales. If this trend continues into 2022, it's possible that over 90% of third party sales in Japan are achieved on the ecosystem.
