    1. Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream sell-through is over 3.8 million in 2 weeks after release. This isn’t sold I believed but shipped.

        1. I am pretty sure it’s sold out on amazon still. I just downloaded it digitally and I have been having a lot of fun.

          1. Dude… there are 71 MILLION Mario Kart 8 Deluxe copies out there… that’s absolutely insane to me. Mario Kart World at 15 million in under a year… jeez…

            I forget how huge of a deal Mario Kart is in the world sometimes, to be honest.

            Also, really happy to see Kirby Air Riders (my goat) doing so well. I wanna get all the amiibo I’m excited. So happy with this release, it might genuinely be my favorite on Switch 2. Which is A LOT considering Donkey Kong Bananza is here, too!!

              1. That’s what I mean! I know it was a pack-in, but still.. 15 million is an insane number of games to have sold. I remember when 5 million was this astronomical number, but it seems like each of Nintendo’s franchises have surpassed that number this past generation (sometimes several times)

                Still feels crazy to think like the sheer number. I wonder what the next big Zelda or Smash will look like. Especially with the graphics and performance boosts… it’ll be a spectacle for sure.

  1. I dont get these rankings at all. The top 12 seems right but then after that theres so much missing. Ring fit, several pokemon games, luigis mansion 3, the splatoon games, many mario games etc. sold WAY more than the bottom listed games here? So whats going on?

  2. This content was written naturally and it actually kept my attention the whole time reading.
    I still enjoy Geometry Dash because the cube challenge and rhythm gameplay feel different compared to most browser games.
