Mario Kart 8 Deluxe remains the best-seller by quite some units shifting 69.56 million copies worldwide. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is followed by Animal Crossing: New Horizons which has sold 48.62 million copies worldwide.
Top ten Nintendo Switch games by sales:
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – 69.56M (+700K)

- Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – 36.93M (+380K)

Nintendo Switch 2 software sales update:
- Mario Kart World – 9.57M (+3.75M)
- Super Mario Party Jamboree – 8.64M (+1.16M since March 2025)
- Donkey Kong Bananza – 3.49M
Pretty surprised to not see Splatoon there.
It’s insane that Mario Party Jamboree is outselling Donkey Kong Bananza on Switch 2. It’s more expensive, it isn’t new, and it’s worse.
