    SMP Jamboree is now the 33rd million-seller on the Switch in Japan. It and DQ3 HD are the best-selling games of the year in Japan, with DQ3 winning combined skus with 1.16 million sales in 2024.

    For context, Japan had 4 or 5 million-sellers per year from 2020 to 2023, all of which either sold a million copies within their first year or very close to it (900k+). No other games released in 2024 have sold even 500k, let alone a million.
