© NintendoThe Nintendo Switch reached its fourth year of existence earlier this week. As of December 31, 2020, the hybrid system had moved 79.87 million units worldwide and software sales are now at 532.34 million units.
Although Nintendo has already released its top ten software sales data for the 2020/21 financial year, the famous Japanese publication Famitsu has now further outlined the data in the latest issue and best-selling Switch games over the first four years of the system shared life in Japan.
It does not differ so much from the worldwide sales, and many of the same games are offered in the top 10.
This is not surprising Animal crossing: new horizons is ahead with more than six million sales. Remarkable mentions go to Momotaro Dentetsu and Minecraft breaks in at the top ten. Breath of nature comes in interesting at number twelve and further down the list there are games like the only Japan Yo-kai Watch 4.
