Less than 4 hours from now.

Edit: Too slow.

Well, let's see how well VGCartz tracked the console this holiday season...

The tie ratios could be interesting to put in the OP as well.

50-50 split between first and third parties still prevalent this generation.

I’m excited to see how high switch went for the most recent holiday quarter. It definitely sold through more, but we should keep in mind that this year may have a disadvantage thanks to how shipments have worked out.

They shipped a massive amount of consoles last quarter, and retailers have stated that especially the lite was shipped in vast quantities in advance of the holidays. Furthermore, there were talks about Nintendo slightly over shipping to the US in anticipation of an incoming tax on foreign goods. Last year, these factors were not present (in fact, they slightly overshipped Q3), which will put the yoY comparison a slight disadvantage.

Despite I still think it’ll be up, just not as much as the sell-through increase would cause one to expect.

I am not so sure anymore that Lite was overshiped...Do you really think that Nintendo planners were all stupid enough to think that the Lite would sale like the DS ?

I don't intend to edit the OP every quarter, nevermind that the adjustment I've made to the spreadsheet won't convert to VGC formating anymore.

I didn't know the rich text format was broken... just goes to show how many complex OPs I've tried to do recently.

Cumulative Tie Ratio
(Overall/First Party)		 First Party Software
(Quarter/Year/Cumulative)
1,99 1,35 3,71 3,71 3,71
2,89 2,10 6,15
38,27
 9,86
3,60 2,18 6,75 16,61
3,54 2,27 17,09 33,70
3,88 2,36 8,28 41,98
4,42 2,56 8,37
63,34
 50,35
4,86 2,50 6,73 57,08
5,07 2,88 35,80 92,88
5,40 3,03 12,44 105,32
5,70 3,08 8,08
60,97
 113,40
5,90 3,01 12,05 125,45
5,92 3,17 40,84 166,29
5,92 3,17 166,29

Uggghhh, no colours. EDIT: Even the YSWYG and the output is wrong

As for tie ratios specifically, the first party share gained a little this past quarter, so it's at ~55%. You have to factor in that first party games that weren't million sellers during any given fiscal year still sold a bunch of units, so there is always some unknown quantity of them. The first party share started out at ~70%.

Of course the situation that Nintendo holds a large share of total software sales hasn't changed, because the willingness of third parties to invest hasn't changed. You reap what you sow.

True about the ratios. Nintendo only updates on their own top sellers, we are missing the overall first party sales.
