It's just the digital version that's gone though. Famitsu only lists physical sales.



Sadly, this will impact Spike Chunsoft in Japan - seems like they invested a lot into pushing the game this fall, hopefully when they fix it, it gets a resurgence. Honestly as a fan of CD Projekt, I saw this coming - Witcher 3 launch on the PS4/X1 was also kinda botched. Its definitely a boneheaded move not to delay it into next year and the executive team need to be accountable for it.

It was actually their biggest launch ever in Japan, beating Attack on Titan: Humanity in Chains which had a 89.448 launch and 401.513 lifetime. Witcher 3 is their second best selling game in Japan with 195.894 on the PS4, so I can understand Spike Chunsoft's desire to get the game launched but they would have been in a far better position had it been delayed into next year.

Top Publishers:

  1. Nintendo - 12.534.088 (62%)
  2. Square Enix - 1.256.166
  3. Pokemon Co - 1.194.618
  4. Konami - 1.183.351
  5. Bandai Namco - 931.708
  6. Sony - 769.741
  7. Microsoft - 473.358
  8. Sega - 460.877
  9. Koei Tecmo - 412.736
  10. Capcom - 258.676
  11. Atlus - 215.551

One publisher having 62% of the top 50 in sales is insane.

The Switch is simply too big of a pie now for third parties to affords to forego a slice of.



Capcom have begun a their push for MHR as it's the only thing their YT channel is focused on they're likely going to be second on the top publishers list come the end of the FY.

Shouldn't Pokemon be considered as Nintendo as well?

Yes and no as they're an entity owned by Nintendo (two thirds via Creatures inc.) but have a third party involved at the same time in GF, it's a unique case tbh.

One single game has reached 30% of the total sales! That's how well AC:NH is selling...

It's kinda of insane but lifetime Momotaro will outsell the entire 2019 lifetime sales of titles launched in H2 by 3rd Parties. 

There is likely going to be additional games that surpass 50K units lifetime - Fitness Boxing 2, Sumikko Gurashi, Atelier Ryza 2, Rhythmic Adventure Pac, Minecraft Dungeons, Shiren the Wanderer, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 are the obvious ones.

These third party software totals seem to be gradually increasing from 2018-2020.  Next year will be different though.  Monster Hunter Rise alone should dwarf the third party total sales for 2018-2020.  Even if we leave that game out though, I expect third party companies to give the Switch more support next year.  The third party invasion of Switch is coming soon.
