| Shadow1980 said: Let's put it this way. Nintendo's own financial data indicates that first-party software sales are in any given quarter consistently between 70% to 90% of all software sales. |
The percentage Nintendo lists for first party in their fiscal reports is for their revenue not unit sales in-case you weren't aware.
So for the case of the 2020 report you linked:
It says total dedicated video game platform sales are 1254.1bn yen so basically for this fiscal year the breakdown is the following:
Dedicated Video Game Platform Revenue - 1254.1 bn yen
Hardware Revenue - 654.6 bn yen
Software Revenue - 599.5 bn yen
First Party Software Revenue - 496.4 bn yen
Third Party Software Revenue - 103.1 bn yen
Digital Software Revenue - 203.8 bn yen
Obviously Nintendo gets a much better cut of the revenue of first party titles so the money spent by consumers on third party titles will be greater than the 17.2% that make up Nintendo's cut for FY20.
Using total software sales and Nintendo's disclosed first party sales in terms of unit sales first to third party is close to 50/50 on Switch.
