Adding in digital sales which Nintendo does not give, that whole chart is another Japan. Nintendo Domination! They make the best games. I tried my hand at Mario sunshine, as basic to the core as it is a 3D Mario game. It surprisingly is better than 96 percent of games you have ever played. I would take a further step and say that animal crossing new horizon is number one with its digital sales. This is great for gaming.
F=MA.
FIFA is still number one forget my overzealous self. Its the UK. Even with digital, FIFA 18 reskinned is a giant. Gaming is winning and so are we the players.
F=m•a.
Animal Crossing New Horizon Is a JUGGERNAUT.
