11 games that are millions sellers this FY, 8 for Nintendo games.
So, have you ideas about 3 games of Third party developer ?
I'm thinking about CTR, perhaps MK 11.

When Nintendo was comparing Fire Emblem Awakening with Fates / If, they were adding all versions together including DLC to say, hey look! Fates is destroying Awakening sales. (In Japan the 780k shared before vs ~500k for Awakening).

Now, completely different. Only one version of Fates, and look, the sell-through of the game is around 2 million, and below Awakening.

This is one funny way to move goalposts. lol

Nintendo learns from trolls in ERA.
Changing goalpost and comparison to suit their needs :D.
The slide also basically confirms that Awakening still sold better than Fates without $20 DLC for additional routes counted as separate purchase.

Seeing some crazy Ring Fit auction prices on Yahoo Japan Auctions.

I don't think it'll have anywhere near the stock it needs for the holiday weekend.

I think the only time Nintendo included Revelation in Fates numbers is when providing shipments. Not at sell-through comparison, at least not the last time slides were shown again.

Last week never updated (or if it did it was virtual identical to the week before) so now we get Persona release PS4 digital ranking chart. I added the yen value to each to highlight just how much money people are spending on these digital titles/DLC. The Outer Worlds at #6 is pretty damn good given its competition and it still floors me that people are paying almost 9k yen for a damn 3rd season pass for DOA6.

Funny but that's how corporate works. Not only corporate, academics too! You frame actual data in order to prove a point.

Anyway, we must keep in mind that Three Houses is also selling at a much higher price.

Fishing Spirits even made in the Nintendo quarterly presentation.

Thirst for fish is real.

EDIT: also just noticed that on Media Create Switch sales in FYQ1 were down YoY, while they were up YoY on Famitsu.

Pokémon at #2 and 3 after less than 24h is quite impressive. Too bad Nintendo doesn't list vouchers (the actual thing you buy, not the games you buy them with) in the Top 20.

They would list them in the top 20 if vouchers had enough sales to enter top 20, as expected nobody cares about vouchers and Fire Emblem, Mario Maker and Link's Awakening are overshipped despite very underwhelming sales /s

Apparently Marvelous are happy with Daemon X Machina sales. The English source I saw was Nintendosoup so take it with a mountain of salt but apparently they mentioned it(and Rune Factory) in their financial report?

I read the financial presentation and it does seem to mention DxM as a successful third party offering. It's not very clear though.

To be clearer it seems that the comments are for both Rune Factory 4 Special and DxM, though the sales part is more emphasized for RF.

Here's what was said

So far, we have only been discussing first-party Nintendo Switch software, but our solid software lineup is not limited to just those. Other software publishers have also continued to release a wide variety of new titles, and I'd like to introduce a few of these.

These are just some of the titles that have been released by other software publishers for Nintendo Switch. DAEMON X MACHINA, released by Marvelous Entertainment in September, is an all-new mech action game that also supports multiplayer play made possible by Nintendo Switch, and features exhilarating mech action designed to suit different styles of play. September was also when Square Enix released Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition. Players can enjoy this game in both 2D and 3D modes, and it also features new scenarios and elements not found in the original versions. Disney Tsum Tsum Festival, released by Bandai Namco Entertainment in October, is a fun and boisterous party game featuring Disney character Tsum Tsum. And today, Sega released Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. In addition to popular Olympic events, this title also features the game's original dream events as well as nostalgic pixel-art 2D events.
Fishing Spirits Nintendo Switch Version, released by Bandai Namco Entertainment in July, lets consumers play on Nintendo Switch the medal-based fishing simulation arcade game that is especially popular among kids. In this title, the Joy-Con controllers serve as the fishing rod and reel, and they vibrate when a fish takes the bait, creating the kind of realistic experience only available on Nintendo Switch. The title also has a tournament mode that makes use of Joy-Con sharing for fun competitive play, which is another kind of play unique to Nintendo Switch. This title is only sold in Japan, but we have heard that it continues to exceed initial expectations and is on the way to becoming a hit.

The strong performance of these software titles also positively affects hardware sales.

Sorry, I meant that apparently MMV mentioned it in their own financials, not Nintendo.

Ah yeah sorry I thought you referenced the Nintendo financial report but it does get mentioned in the Nintendo one too so they must be happy with the results. Its not a game that will need a lot of sales to be profitable I guess.

Switch: 1.861 / 33.730
PS4: 1.729 / 54.718

At retail, as of now Switch has sold 38% of total sales. It might achieve 40%. That's a pretty good result.

It was out of stock for longer so people who really wanted a retail version had to wait and the NSW SKU is probably doing bit of catchup on pent up demand

I will say first day sell through is *typically* very frontloaded for something like P5 R. Not to say its going to struggle to sell its shipment or anything, just that I wouldn't necessarily expect widespread sellouts or anything.

Definitely.

Persona has an active fanbase and a big portion of it buys at day/week one.

Also, Persona 5 Royal will likely attract many of those who had bought the game on PS3.

Switch could outsell Wii in Japan by the end of fiscal year. It's 2,75m behind at shipments and there are two big quarters coming.
