There’s likely a lot of “shovelware” in that figure, which doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be preserved but that could be 1 reason the percentage is so high. There were a ton of DS and Wii games nobody would recognize today

If you want to make a paper on “The history of fucking over video game consumers” this dataset is invaluable.
