S-E has the #1 spot in the top 50. That makes it even more impressive that Nintendo has over 50% of the sales (and the Pokemon Co is not included in that percentage). Most of those Nintendo sales are simply from evergreens. Nintendo doesn't have to do much at this point and it still makes a ton of money on the Switch.
This also illustrates why it is not at all in Nintendo's best interest to kill off the Switch when its successor releases. All of those evergreens are still paying out. The development costs on those evergreen games have already been paid. It's in Nintendo's best interest to keep this gravy train rolling for as long as possible. Price cuts, bundles, Nintendo selects, releasing ports and budget titles, etc.... There's a lot of strategies they could take, but it's definitely in their best interest to keep the Switch alive for as long as possible.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
