I’m suprised Grand Theft Auto isnt in there, now if you excuse me while I was my underwear
Glad to see Skyward Sword at number 1. Most ridiculously overhated Zelda game. Personally my 2nd favorite after BotW.
With the PS5 being to sell as well as it is with it’s higher price, it makes me wonder if Nintendo will aim for the $300 again mark with the Switch 2 or try to push for more power and release a $500 system with the Switch Lite 2 being $400. Guess we won’t know till 2025
Actually PS5 is number 1 in revenue because is more expensive, you should’ve added that in the article, lol.
It says it in the headline :D
