Will you minus the 4 days of 2019 that was added to week 1 sales this year???

That's still taking just 6 days off 2020, unlikely that's enough to take away 270k of sales from post-Christmas.

This year week 1 was bigger than last year. But you don’t even have to worry about that. It definitely hit 6mil, mynintendo store isn’t accounted for and I’m sure it sold over 50k this year just like more than 200k RFA sales are missing

Sakuna has reached 100K physical this week on the Switch, the game continues to do well - based on its great WoM, it has already surpassed 150K combined on the PS4/NSW, since the PS4 version likely sold at least 10K additional copies since exiting the Top 30. Overall I'm not yet sure how well it will do overall but I don't think it will have a problem surpassing 250K sales by the end of 2021. If we add the very strong digital sales of the game on eShop it's likely going to outsell Island of Happiness overall. 

[NSW] Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin - 100.663 
[PS4] Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin - 48.019*

Marvelous Top 15

  1. [DS] Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness - 304.660
  2. [3DS] Harvest Moon: A New Beginning - 264.042
  3. [3DS] Harvest Moon: Linking the New World - 259.111
  4. [3DS/NSW] Rune Factory 4 - 245.857
  5. [DS] Harvest Moon: Twin Villages - 212.870
  6. [PSV/PS4/NSW] Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star - 198.804
  7. [3DS] Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns - 196.088
  8. [PSV] Kan Colle Kai - 190.568
  9. [PS4/PSV/NSW] Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star Link - 177.279
  10. [PSV] Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus - 158.270
  11. [3DS] Harvest Moon: Shining Sun and Friends - 155.065
  12. [NSW/PS4] Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin - 148.682 NEW
  13. [PSP] Fate/Extra - 147.911
  14. [PSP] Fate/Extra CCC - 147.911
  15. [NSW] Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town - 146.363
  • 3DS - 5
  • NSW - 5
  • PSV - 4
  • PS4 - 3
  • DS - 2

By the end of the year I anticipate that Sakuna, Rune Factory 4, Rune Factory 5 and Olive Town will join Island of Happiness as the top Marvelous games. Historically Marvelous is far from the largest studio in Japan, its been as we can see a studio mainly focused on handheld games that haven't managed even 500K combined across several SKUs. I believe this is about to change this year as Olive Town & Rune Factory 5 will be the breakout games for the studio. Not only in Japan but in East Asia, as Tencent who bought a stake in Marvelous will be probably marketing the games in East Asian markets. 

I anticipate that 2021 will be the first time they would be able to surpass 1 million sales in Japan alone, and will be their peak year and allow them to really cement themselves as a Top 3rd Party on the Switch both in Japan and in East Asia.

Nintendo is best company in the world and chosen by God to lead us to a better place.



I am a Nintendo fanatic.

Friends of Mineral Town hasn't charted since April but the announcement of Olive Town might have boosted sales a little. We'll know when the top 100 for 2020 comes out.

Oh and here's a PPT2 graph (I'm surprised no one has talked about the split yet lol)

For sure, especially with New Horizon launching I wouldn't be surprised if the game is above 175K for the year, looking forward the Famitsu Top 100

Ring Fit Adventure continues it's domination of South Korea and Taiwan,

Interesting that New Horizon hadn't charted in Taiwan since October - wonder what happened.

With the addition of China and Japan, Nintendo seems to have Asia largely under their control.

If you combine all the lists of every country in the world, the same story would be said.

I will definitely be interested in seeing a top 100.

This gives a pretty good synopsis of the year though.  Switch dominated the whole year.  9 out of the top 10 games were on the Switch.  FF7 Remake was basically the swan song for the PS4 in Japan before Switch took over the whole market.



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

In a year without any other big RPG releases, Final Fantasy VII Remake didn't manage to be the best-selling RPG of 2020.

How ironic, I bet there was one person with the balls enough to say “I bet that Ring Fit Adventure game can outsell FFVII remake despite releasing the year before”

I love the fact that Ring Fit outsold every PS4 game including FF7 Remake last year, and it's not even a 2020 release.
