By the end of the year PS5 is likely not to move that much -
Judgement is likely to exit with
Demon Slayer taking it's place. without any high profile exclusives ost sales would remain on the PS4.
I anticipate the PS4 will finish with over
1.75 million software sold in the Top 50 since the launch of the PS5, the best selling game is likely going to be
Tales of Arise with over
220K, followed by
Resident Evil: Village with over
200K the rest of the Top 5 will be
Nier: Replicant, Lost Judgement, Demon Slayer.
Switch meanwhile is going to top
10 million third party sales since the PS5 launched, a lot of sales are unaccounted for since we only track what appears in the Top 30 and there is a strong line-up of games and OLED launching in the next six weeks. Top selling games will end up being Momotaro, Rise, Minecraft,
Age of Calamity - still unsure if
SMT V, Power Pro Kun Pocket R or
Olive Town have the best chance to take the 5th spot.

Since the launch of the PS5 the only publisher to achieve a better result within the Top 50 from the PS Ecosystem is
Sega, while
Konami, Microsoft, Neos achieved 100% of their sales on the Switch.
In the coming months we are going to see a lot of more third party games hit the systems as the busy fall upon us.
Demon Slayer, Shin Megami Tensei V & Power Pro Kun Pocket R are the biggest third party games in my opinion, there is also a bunch of titles in the
50/100K range
Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires, SRW30, . Nothing can match
Momotaro's result last year on it's own but outside of
Momotaro the biggest third party games that launched were
Age of Calamity,
Sakuna &
Fitness Boxing 2. The main difference between 2020 and 2021 Q4 will be the OLED launch and how that impacts hardware sales compared to last year - coupled with Pokemon Remakes & Mario Party will definitely add further momentum. With higher hardware sales new games will sell more and evergreens will get a greater boost. Currently there are several third party titles on the Switch that have an evergreen status.
