Great numbers.

Pokemon just crushing everything in sight. 16M already. Could become the second best selling Pokemon ever, at least third best.

I think that as the game is only a few months old number 3 is a given and number 2 Very likely. It is now nunber 7 but those 4-6  are close already. Less likely is  #1 but i  think that lifetime it has a shot. Numbers below for reference.

Quote from the earnings report:

bringing the total number of million-seller titles during this fiscal year to 21,including the titles of other software publishers.

To add on that.

Nintendos million seller:

1. Pokémon Sword/Pokémon Shield
2. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
3. Luigiʼs Mansion 3
4. Super Mario Maker 2
5. The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
6. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
7. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
8. Super Mario Party
9. Fire Emblem: Three Houses
10. New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe
11. Ring Fit Adventure
12. SUPER MARIO ODYSSEY
13. Pokémon:Let'sGo,Pikachu!Pokémon:Let'sGo,Eevee!
14. Splatoon 2
15. ASTRAL CHAIN
16. MARVELULTIMATEALLIANCE3:TheBlackOrder

so that leaves us with 5 million sellers from 3rd party this FY

I guess Just Dance is one of them?

I think Fifa, DQ 11 S are other strong contenders.

Would be nice if Hellblade, Cuphead or the Witcher 3 would have made it, but I doubt that, especially for the former two. So that would leave us with mostly indie and some medium releases like Super Dragon Ball Heroes.

Would Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games been counted among the list or not since it's half Sega?

Wow! The fact it will beat the DS and 3DS Pokemon games is insane! Hopefully this gives the devs more motivation to create better pokemon games after the amount of criticism were thrown at them.

I'd say Just Dance 2020, Minecraft, Dragon Quest XI S, maybe The Witcher 3. There are 4 cause Yoshi's Crafted World is a million seller this FY

I'd expect minecraft to be the best selling third party game on switch, that game has crazy legs and children are mad for it.

The switch first 20 million seller... and more will arrive soon



OTBWY on 30 January 2020

I don't really have much to say except for a few points.

- Astral Chain 2 will happen.
- Marvel was a good deal, more will come.
- 52 million under 3 years. 100 million is a realistic goal.
- Pokemon is going to be over 20 million easy.
- Splatoon 2 aaaalmost at 10 million.

The Switch:

Congrats Switch,

Ring Fit Adventure: 2.17m

Damn, excellent numbers there. Also, at this rate, Mario Kart 8D is outselling MK Wii.

So after just a month and a half of sales, Sword/Shield is on the brink of outselling the lifetime sales of X/Y and Sun/Moon, and has already outsold Black/White.

Holy guacamole, so much for that boycott...

I agree. For all of the controversy, Sw/Sh is going to end up being the second best selling Pokemon game. It's frustrating to think that this is only going to encourage GF to continue its worst practices.



You know it deserves the GOTY.
