| Endymion said: It's probable that in 2021 the annual third-party packaged software sales on NSW will beat the PS4 third-party packaged software peak year which was 2018 (~9.10M). |

Considering the vast majority of titles in this list sold a lot of additional copies outside the Top 30 list and there is one week left which is probably the biggest week of the year in terms of evergreen software sales - no doubt that third party software will surpass PS4's 9.10M total from 2018. I'm guessing you are referencing the Media Create Top 1000 which featured 371 PS4 third party games - in this list there is only 50 and we are likely close to hitting PS4's Third Party peak with the unaccounted sales and additional week.
In all likelihood Switch third party sales this year are going to be over 10 million, the main thing I'm asking myself is how many Switch games will make the Top 1000, at this point I'm expecting over 750.
