Rest of the summer there is just a few games launching that could enter the Top 30 on the Switch side we have Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel & Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, while on the PS4/PS5 there is Tales of Arise & Lost Judgement. Both Kakarot & Lost Judgement are launching at the very end of this quarter so they are actually unlikely to make the Top 30. The 30th Selling game at the end of this Quarter will be above 110K, so this will be the number to beat. 

Don't forget Wario Ware in September.

oh yeah forgot about Wario Ware it should surpass 110K, it's never a big seller launch week but it can definitely end up above 500K lifetime. Although it hasn't actually surpassed that amount for a long time - last game above 500K in the franchise was back in 2006 on the Wii. Prior to that on the DS WarioWare: Touched! actually had surpassed 1 million back in 2004.

This is the type of game that won't show up in pre-order charts & first week numbers should give us a hint how high it's lifetime sales will end up. Anything above 100K first week pretty much guarantees at least 500K sales lifetime.

Another late port by Bandai Namco seemingly confirmed:

I guess based on this there are a bunch of games that might get ported to the Switch in the future as Bandai gets more desperate.

Scarlet Nexus (2021)
Tales of Arise (2021)
The Idolm@ster (2021)
Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs. MaxiBoost On (2020)
Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris (2020)
One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows (2020)
Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown (2019)
Code Vein (2019)
One Piece: World Seeker (2019)
Soul Calibur VI (2018)
Tekken 7 (2017)
Tales of Berseria (2016)

It's strange that Bamco are so hesitant to support the Switch despite being brought on to straight up co-develop games for it like Pokken Tournament, Smash, and New Pokemon Snap.

Also pretty silly to think that way, it is not a software issue but a hardware issue. You can release a most wanted game but if you don't have units to sell it can't push hardware.

My thinking was more in line that MS would have more units to ship around big launches of games or events, like they did after E3.
