There's been reports of low stock in the UK for a while now it's certainly not been overshipped there and switch sold on the closer end of 4 million in the US for the past 2 months.
Last year FIFA 19 sold more than 150 000 physical copies in France alone.
I mean, it is possible there's a lot of stock in the chain globally. There have been shortages of the standard model in the UK, but I've not seen any evidence to say that's the case globally.
No.
You should include Week 1 sell-though in your calculation (since week 1 Switchs are already shipped at the end of December). That brings the sell-through total pretty close to the shipped number (1m-1.5m difference which is usual).
No Japan and weak in Europe doesn't help it. US performance was very good tho.
Can't Dragon Quest be one of them? It did like 500k in Japan, is it too much to hope it did another 500k in the rest of the world?
Overall yes, it is pretty sure.
I know, but if it did 1M with Japan+ROTW, wouldn't it be part of those "21 million-seller" of the FY?
No because the ~550k sales from JP count as 3rd party but the Western sales as 1st party.
Only games with a retail version are reported in these earnings.
So it would need to do 1m+ in either Japan or RotW to be counted, that's a bit weird.
It is possible since it is the big game of their fiscal year.
I guess if you wanted to count it as a million seller in no official capacity, like just a list of games that have sold over a million it would probably make no difference. But Nintendo won't count it as such.
Being both a 1st/3rd party title doesn't preclude it from that list if it sells less than 1 million in the west that total still can be combined with the Japanese sales to make 1 million. I think it is very likely one of the 5 other million sellers along with FIFA, Minecraft, MK11, and Mario + Sonic.
Third parties when they see these figures
