From the description overview:

What was given was that Dragon Ball FighterZ reached 2.5 million units LTD.
Tekken 7 is at 2.8 million LTD.

And games like Dark Souls 3 and Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 contributed to total software sales in the third quarter where they were expecting 2.09 million units of sales instead they achieved 5.08 million units of software sales.

The ratio of overseas Digital Software increased from 35% to 37%

Mentions a few IP under development, Soul Calibur 6, Ace Combat 7, Code Vein which is handled by the God Eater team.

They also talk about Tekken regarding esports.

Bandai Namco are planning to introduce multiple original titles for Switch with a worldwide reach, news about new titles will start from from Summer.

Edit:

My mistake for using my own wording, it should say the following:

Damn, DBFZ almost caught up to Tekken 7. Congrats on the success, ASW & Bamco.

That said, I'm curious about if the Switch game is an exclusive or a port of, say, DBFZ.

Interesting to note that DBFZ shipped 2 millions in a week, but only 500k in the remaining weeks until the end of FY.

Well they announced Taiko and Famista for summer on Switch but those aren't global titles. Maybe we'll see RR and Tales at E3.

I was wondering why 2B was in a Bamco presentation lol.
Great for DBFZ! Will be interesting to see all their announcements at E3 and later, also really looking forward to AC7 and SC6.

Great numbers for DBFZ.

Xenoverse 2 still trucking along, wow. Though I guess it makes sense considering the continued support for the game plus the Switch version.

I am not going to edit the OP again thanks to Google translate activating while I am in the middle of trying to edit the post.

So where is the second season pass for Tekken 7 ? Why is the content delivery so sparse now ?

Nah, Bamco's wording has been consistent, that's why they made it clear that these original titles don't include stuff like the Naruto Storm trilogy or the new Taiko game.

I suppose. I just find it hard to believe Namco is actually developing much original Switch stuff given their support so far.

Could those 4 Switch titles include the actual date for My Hero Academia or does that count as already being announced?

The release one. It appears in the part for which google translate gives me a blurb about Switch titles (you can use search function on your browser to pinpoint the kanji combination for "release").

Ah good idea, not sure why I didn't think of that.

Anyway that would line up with what they said months ago, about releasing original Switch titles starting this Spring/Summer. They should probably get started announcing those...
