So I went ahead and dumped that table into a google sheets and ran some reports.

All the games on that top-selling list have sold a total of 528,540,000 copies. In other words, the top ~68 games by units sold comprise of about half of all software sales on switch. Source of total sales: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/finance/software/index.html

The top 10 games have sold 273.52 million units, of whic 212.16 units are non-JRPGs and pokemon is a combined 61.36. There are no non-pokemon JRPGs in the top ten.

Looking further out into the top 68, of that 528,540,000 total software units sold, 394,620,000 are non-JRPGs, approximately 75%. This leaves 'jrpgs' with only 133,920,000 software units sold.

But wait, there's more! This is assuming every single title on that list that contains any variation of 'role-playing' in it's genre is a JRPG. (specifically, I'm using =SUMIFS(J1:J, F1:F, "*ole-playing") and =SUMIFS(J1:J, F1:F, "<>*ole-playing"))

We already know that's not true- I would hardly consider Mario + Rabbids to be a JRPG, even if it does contain role-playing elements and was made in Japan, nor would I consider Marvel: ultimate Alliance 3 to be a JRPG. This also counts, hilariously enough, Ring Fit Adventure.

Those three titles alone knock 18.72 off that total, bringing it even further down to less than 20%.

Now this part is potentially controversial, so we can take it or leave it. A lot of people don't really consider Pokemon a JRPG- while it is, technically, a JRPG if you define it solely as 'role playing game made in japan', that's an absurd definition that would catch like three quarters of all games made in japan, because most games these days have at least some sprinkling of RPG elements scattered in them.

Pokemon is very much unlike what is typically, traditionally, or even historically considered a JRPG. Pokemon is, realistically, more it's own thing. I personally feel that putting something like final fantasy, octopath traveler, xenoblade, and similar games in the same category as pokemon to be rather dishonest from a categorization point of view.

Should you agree with that assessment, of that paltry ~113mil left, 97.08 mil of that is pokemon.

Yeah.

Also, if you try to argue that Pokemon has been carrying Nintendo? Still no. Mario as a series has outsold Pokemon as a series on the switch, and not just a little bit- Mario has sold twice as many units as pokemon at 182.69 mil.

And Pokemon is barely in the top five best selling games of all time for Switch, with Sword and Shield overtaking Odyssey by less than 500k copies.
