What I am unsure about is how game-key cards are handled. They very likely count as shipments. Overall, third party sales are rather disappointing, and they are deservedly so. Things are put in perspective when you remember that Switch 1's launch quarter had 1.75m for third party software with much less recognizable IPs and a smaller number of games. Goes to show that the availability of physical versions matters.

Cyberpunk seems to have done well from numerous reports, so maybe consumers are turned off by Game Key Cards.

There's no 'maybe' here, it was the predictable outcome.

And yes, Cyberpunk has done well. It's obviously the best-selling third party title when counting only physical versions, but at the same time it has also been the third party top dog on the eShop charts.
