Yes, sales for third party have been pretty poor. We're looking at about 10m for all third party combined as of end of 2025. Which means an Attach rate of just 0.66 for every third party combined.
So Cyberpunk, Hogwarts, Streetfighter, Yakuza 0, Tony Hawks, WWE, Madden, SW Outlaws, EA FC, NBA, Persona 3, AC Shadows and Kiwami 1/2 plus many more smaller titles only 10m combined.
While first party sold around 27m. Whether that's because of keycards or just Nintendo software dominating to third party's detriment on the system who knows. Let's see how they do in 2026.
On a personal level I don't see it as a platform I'll use for third parties long term.
I intend to get some AAA third party games for SW2, which I didn't expect at all before. But for me the performance is basically just at "good enough". Which for a brand new system doesn't bode well for how I'll feel about it's performance a few years from now. I doubt I'll still get demanding multiplatform titles on it 3-4 years from now.
