1m on the dot for Japan. No updates for WW.
Grady, is it possible to compile updated figures for the various Zeldas? (It would also be super helpful if you could say what page no. each game is mentioned on.) I'd love to update our sales page on the Zelda Wiki with the latest figures.
I usually carry this exercise out with @Marth each year, but since you have the book on you now, I figured I'd ask.
(If you don't have the time for it atm, though, no pressure.)

Interesting how XB2 is exactly where general expectations had it, about 2.5 mio. Will be interesting to see whether XB3 also manages to hit the common expectations of 3 mio units. I expect it to be a slow crawl, though.
Thx for the numbers, Grady.

I was curious if 3D All-Stars would remain idle or not cause it's a very peculiar case with the limited time anniversary release.
Maybe some of the last orders from retailers arrived in the last few days of March and were dispatched in April (when stock were shipped to retailers)?
We will see!
Hopefully it will start with a bang (1.9million first quarter?); this would help it even with weaker legs (as many are expecting)
At the end even XenoDE did sell 200k last year (despite being "just" a sort of remastermake?!)

Thanks for these CESA updates!
And thank you for listing the previous years' sales for easy comparison!
Pretty sure Fire Emblem: 3 Houses will reach 4 million by the next CESA, which is unbelievable!
Team Ninja and Platinum Games should be very satisfied.
It is incredible how Nintendo saw potential where Sega did not. Adding the character to Super Smash Bros. was a smart move. It's the best market tool they have alongside Nintendo Directs.

maybe Platinum and Nintendo will give the fantasy game another shot. Astral Chain was originally fantasy before Nintendo suggested they go sci-fi
Bayonetta was a case of just sticking with it and letting natural growth take hold. Sega might have wanted fast returns but didn't get it so they bounced off the IP. I think they also had financial struggles at the time too?
These two...! I'm happy they achieved 1m worldwide.
And these two...! I hope we're seeing new entries on Switch.
Thank you so much for providing this great breakdown. Your continued contribution and replies are always very much appreciated <3
Anyway, it's great that Bayonetta 2 finally crossed the 1M mark. Many other games crossed relevant thresholds too. XC2 sold more in 2021 than in 2020 (which was a huge year for software in general) as expected thanks to the Smash boost. It should be at ~2.6M by now, and will eventually reach 3M (and XCDE 2M) as I've been defending for a while. FE3H should be at ~4M by now.
Unfortunately, there were no numbers for Xenoblade X.
are you saying that Platinum should work on a Project: Fantasy for Nintendo?!
watch it release sooner than Re:Link or Re:Fantasy

The closure was announced this year, so any sales boost will only be seen in the Dec 2022 update.

Age of Calamity is the new Pokkén DX
Do we have numbers (even non update) for Bandai Namco millions sellers on PS4/XB1 ?
Yes. There are some for PS4 and XB1.

TW3 on Switch is almost a 2 million seller

Any number for Vesperia Definitive Edition? You'd think that'd be an easy million on Switch alone IMO.
These are good numbers, but certainly lower than what I expected.
While Dragon Ball FighterZ was released later on Switch, it was "only" 8 months, so for it to be only about 25% of total sales is kind of surprising.
Look at it this way. The Switch version sold more than the Xbox version, and based on total lifetime sales last year we can safely say it also sold more than the PC version. Switch being the #2 platform in this case is very good.

Does Bandai Namco share sales numbers of Dark Souls 3?
3.66m for PS4
1.69m for Xbox One
That would be about 5 million for the PC version of DS3 then since the game as a whole sold more than 10 million
Is there anything about Dark Souls Remastered?
No FE Echoes or Samus Returns... ;_;
Actually makes me think, is there something for Fatal Frame? I really doubt it, but you never know with the recent ports. Might be a problem with all the different titles and SKUs.
Damn.

Fatal Frame Series WW shipment is at 1.35m (For PS, PS2 and Xbox) That's all the info I can see in the papers.
So PS4 Dragon Ball games still outpacing Switch, which again, kind of surprising, as I would've thought the Switch versions would be the top selling SKU after their release.
I believe those are Western numbers only as From is publishing themselves DS in Japan.
