Yes it is included. It is around 2.32M without those.

It's the token game for inclusion purposes.

Now, all there is left to do, is to release Pokemon Crossing. 

Impressive pokemon gen 1 was #1 that long and I guess it was inevitable, but it definitely didn’t deserve to lose that spot to ACNH. ?

Woah I wonder if splatoon 2 can still outsell MH. Is is still selling decent numbers? If it does that would be 2 spots down for the only game that is not on nintendo consoles

I recall reading Animal Crossing surpassed Pokémon about 2 months ago. I might have dreamed it.

People made the argument before that it should have But Nintendo's report just came out so I guess now we know for sure.

In Japan Pokémon Blue was a bit more different from the other two versions, so it's often counted separately. That way Pokémon Red/Green is at 8.22mil, which ACNH topped a long time ago, much longer than two months ago.

Switch is so dominant in Japan its not even funny!

By the end of its lifetime Switch might have the Japan all-time:
#1 AC
#3 and #4/#5 or at worst #4 and #5 with MK8D and Smash
#8 and #9 Splat3 and Sw/Sh though Splat 3 could hit #7
Pokemon V/S presumably will get up to around #10 or close to it
#17 Splat2

Maybe 6 games in the top 10 all-time, and another at #17.

This was back sometime in September around the same time Splatoon 3 broke the week 1 sales record.

I'm most impressed by Splatoon 3.

Dragon Quest is a legendary franchise in Japan, a series with a long 35 year legacy, a series that is so well known that it's almost synonymous with video games in the country.
And then Nintendo creates a franchise that can outsell every Dragon Quest game in just three weeks. How do they do it?
