Does anyone know the last time at least one title sold less than 1000 units in the top 30? Because I swear I see number 30 get close to that number oh so much but never below it. It’s… kinda infuriating honestly.

I think the reason why it's getting so low to begin with is that 2024 was a really bad year for software releases for Switch 1.  Both 2025 and 2026 look to be at least as good if not better.  The best selling Switch 1 title of 2024 was Mario Party, and the second best title, DQ3, isn't even in the top 30 any more.  Meanwhile this year will get Pokemon.

And of course, when June comes, the Switch 2 will release and take up many slots in the top 30 with Switch 2 titles.  If the #30 title doesn't drop below 1000 before the release of the Switch 2, then it isn't going to happen.  There will be too many new titles and strong sellers in the top 30 from both Nintendo systems to prevent it from happening in the next few years.  It's got to happen before June 5 if it's going to happen.
