Beyond just being nice to see a third party exclusive thrive on a Nintendo platform, its also just nice to see a game with an original style find success. Goes to show there's still a market for quirky medium caliber games that aren't AAA nor indie but rather a happy middle ground.

I hope we'll go back to a reversal in the market shifts so that these kind of games can get published/developped more often.

These mid-tier/B-tier games have never stopped being made. They're just on other platforms.

Octopath already fell off a cliff, just wait, the numbers will be adjusted down, Square is totally overtracking it. ;)

Woah sweet numbers for Octopath! I'll pick it up one day. Very surprised by how well it is doing. I thought it'd pass 1 million over the holidays. 2 mil is a lock and I think we'll see it creep to 3 million in the years to come.

Can you list 10 out of the last 3 years, not counting exclusives made by first party studios?

Absolutely! They're primarily done by the mid-tier Japanese developers with Sega, Koei Tecmo, and Namco Bandai.

Yakuza 0, Yakuza 6
The Atelier series (all 3 that have been released in the past 3 years)
Blue Reflection
Tokyo Xanadu
Mad Max
DanganRonpa v3
Toukiden 2
Digimon World
Shining Resonance
God Eater 2: Rage Burst
World of Final Fantasy
Star Ocean 5
Tales of Berseria
Nino kuni II
Hellblade
Vampyr

You can really expand the pool by looking into some of the PC only stuff, where Paradox, Creative Assembly, etc. release lots of new games. Also:
Pillars of Eternity
Warhammer: Vermintide
Divinity: Original Sin 2

Of course, some of those you might debate (and I tried to leave some more borderline ones out like Monster Hunter and . Yakuza is close to a higher tier but I've never viewed it as a AAA title. I tried to not include a lot of mid-tier Vita/3DS games from the end of their lives because the list would just be too long. I know there's a lot more out there, I just looked through games I bought.

I believe that if we made a sales graph of this cliff, it would be shaped like a gentle, downward slope.



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
