To be fair, Yoshi and Star Fox both have specific reasons behind that.
Star Fox obviously because of the very narrow timeframe it had to be counted (6 days) but Yoshi has shown in the past to be a series that doesn't sell the majority of its final sales right from the start, it doesn't sell big numbers but it has decent legs proportionally to the scale of the sales (most likely because it has some sort of a casual/family appeal). Crafted World roughly did 50% of its lifetime sales by the end of 2019 and it released early in the year in March. For all we know Mysterious Book could end up at like 1.3m by the end of this year and still sell 2.5m-3m lifetime.
Since Fire Emblem is a more "fanbase-driven" series, it will most likely get a bigger percentage of its lifetime sales this year already.
