Based on the Top 50, I anticipate when Famitsu releases the Official Top 100, Switch will have more than 85% of the Software Market in 2020. 

Top 10 3rd Party Publishers: 

  1. Konami - 1.661.290 (7.53%)
  2. Square Enix - 1.268.821
  3. Bandai Namco - 986.397
  4. Microsoft - 556.982
  5. Koei Tecmo - 461.735
  6. Sega - 411.180
  7. Capcom - 258.676
  8. Atlus - 149.898
  9. Spike Chunsoft - 112.408
  10. Cygames - 111.094
  • Konami more than doubled their sales YoY, will end up the Top Selling 3rd Party publisher for 2020
  • Bandai Namco had the biggest drop YoY, falling by about 1 million sales YoY
  • Square could have been flat if Bravely Default 2 launched instead they also lose ground, likely around 500-600K YoY
  • Capcom & Sega also saw declines YoY due to a lack of Switch games
  • Koei Tecmo will see great growth YoY
  • GameAddict and Teyon Games barely missed out on the Top 10, Human Fall Flat should continue to sell greatly in 2021
  • Marvelous and Capcom will be making the biggest gains YoY in 2021

Pikmin 3 Deluxe will be the bestselling game of the franchise next week.
Currently its still the OG Pikmin at 502k
And that is without digital.

For Momotaro Dentetsu it is not even a competition.
Next bestselling game of the franchise is MD7 on PS1 at only 700k



Animal Crossing is now the 3rd bestselling game ever in retail.
Now ahead of New Super Mario Bros (NDS) at 6.428.457

Only
2. Super Mario Bros (NES) - 6.800.000
1. Pokemon Red/Green/Blue - 7.936.360
are still ahead.


And Animal Crossing is still not even one year on the market lol.

Pokemon Red/Green/Blue sold 10.23 million: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0006/05/index.html

So PS5 has had a better 7th week than the PS4 (with 17k vs 13k) but it's worth noting that those are sales for the beginning of April where things are much slower than the first week of January (which includes the last days of December). Also, the week before PS4 was selling 23k, PS5 managed 12k last week.

Switch couldn't quite pull a shut out with 1 PS4 game near the bottom for both weeks.  Regardless, this is still nothing short of extreme Switch domination.



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

Amazing Switch numbers, up yoy

Not the PS5 doing less than the PS4 i, is it really because the lack of stock?

500k physical sales in 2 months and a few days is really good for Pikmin 3 DX

Also, it won't be long until MK8DX outsells Splatoon 2.
