Just so you can update the official sales numbers of Pokkén Tounament DX and Fire Emblem Warriors:

Edit: So which Pokkén Numbers are the correct ones now? You already have 1.4M+ there

Thanks.

Pokken numbers in the report do not take into account Japanese sales so I did add known japanese numbers (around 230k sold through)...

I did add FE numbers at first then realized 3DS and switch skus were both included...

Aren't these numbers the sales as of March 31st, 2018, not April 26th? They announced them on April 26th, but they only go up to the end of the fiscal year.

You are absolutely right. Fixed. Thanks.

Shouldn't Bomberman be at 1M?, I remember it was announced that it shipped over 1M, also fire emblem warriors, are you sure it includes 3DS?

Thank you for Bomberman, I was unaware of this. It is now in the OP. If you notice more missing official numbers, let me know.

No problem! Thanks for keeping a list like this. It's interesting to glance through as new numbers are released

Yeah, OP would become way too difficult to handle if I go over 100. I will keep a text only list for games over 100 with limited info (right after the top 100 in the OP).

If you are interested in the pictures for those games, they can still be found by going through the thread..

So according g to this list just over 70% of games sold on Switch via physical releases account for Nintendo games with the rest being 3rd party right?

Just under 70%, yes.

I would add that games are considered published by Nintendo when they are in most of the world (Pokken, which is published by Nintendo everywhere except Japan is considered published by Nintendo whereas Mario + Rabbids which is published by Nintendo only in Japan is not...).

Ah okay. It was just after the latest earnings report I saw a few people claim that 3Rd party support account for almost 85% of Nintendos sales for the last fiscal year and I assumed it was including ds and wii u. So seems I was correct lol.
