So does AC NH have 2million digital sales?

Roughly that.

End of June 7.15mil (ship+digital)

5.00mil sell thru

2.15mil split between on shelves / not tracked / digital. I would guess digital is no less than 1.7mil and no more than 2mil at that point. 1.8mil to be on the safer side



Around the Network

Top 30

NSW 26 (10 of which are third party)
PS4 4 (3 of which are third party)

This week 10/13 = 77% of third party games are on the Switch.  For about 3 months now, the Switch has consistently had 60-80% of the third party games in the top 30.  This week is no different.  Switch is currently dominating in every way and that includes third party titles.



PS4 sold a lot more than I expected earlier in the year due to Covid, but now the sales are not good at all. Even my pessimistic prediction of <10m LTD is looking optimistic, when it could be <9.9m or <9.8m and etc.

Ok. Thats nice. We will definitely get confirmation in their next financial report. Earlier would be better.

Do you know the third party total sales of the year so far for each console?

Top 30

NSW - 26
PS4 - 4

Long term views, by the millions:

Glad to see Odyssey barely fighting its way to top 30! Looks like it won't make it to 3 million when it's all over, but might get to high 2 millions.

Kirby might crack 1 million by end of next year, 2022 for sure.

Luigi's Mansion looking to crack 1 million by end of 2022.

Mario Maker will easily blow by 1 million this Fall.

BotW on the long haul to 2 million, should hit it late next year.

NSMBU:D will break a million this holiday season.

Fishing Spirits selling well over a year after launch, should find the million mark later in Switch's life.

Minecraft, the ultimate 3 party evergreen, will pass 2 million next year.

Splatoon, the little squid that could, working its way to 4 million, will it next year, then the question becomes can it hit 5 million by end of life?!

Mario Party charging its way to 2 million next year.

Pokemon and Smash, racing in parallel for that lifetime #2 spot on Switch behind AC, should both hit 4 million this holiday, and then begins the race to 5 million. Pokemon will probably fizzle out just above 5 with another game coming out at some point, while Smash I think will barely pass 6 million when its all over, which means with digital it could be what like the third best selling game in Japan ever behind AC and original Pokemon?

Ebaseball and Paper Mario both looking strong 4-5 weeks after release but way too early to tell if they could one day hit a million, though I imagine Paper Mario will eventually hit it. I assume there will be other Ebaseball games that will cut this one off in the mid-to-high hundred thousands.

Mario Kart now on that trek to 4 million. Will eventually hit it. Actually might even hit it by end of next year, which means 5 million could very well be in the cards by end of life.

Clubhouse looking like a class Ring Fit type sales game with no-fanfare launch that just keeps selling off of word of mouth. Definitely looking for this to hit a million next year.

RFA, the ultimate tiny launch huge legs game. Will fly past 2 million next year and will hit at least 3 million lifetime.

AC...what even needs to be said. It's gonna blow every single game in existence out of the water in Japan. Could end up with over 10 million retail alone. Should hit 7 million retail this year.

I believe @noshten has that information.

Plus that this is physical sales only; with digital included I wasn't it already over 7 million and at #2?

I'm all for the Switch having 3rd party games, I'm glad it does but if sales aren't high enough for some of them, I expect 3rd parties to pull back sadly.
