Kirby: Star Allies is the highest debut for a Kirby title, beating the previous record holder, Nightmare in Dreamland, by 90%.

Nightmare in Dreamland debuted at 267k which means Star Allies did over 500k.

Oh wow!

Pocky Lover Boy!

Question: BOTW was above Assassin’s Creed both last month and this month in sales. Last month it was #5 or something in best selling games over the last 12 months, and above Assassin’s Creed. So how is Assassin’s Creed above Zelda over the last 12 months all of a sudden? Zelda sold more this month..am I missing something?

Ahh, alright. So Zelda lost a month, thanks. That explains Wildlands disappearing too, which also launched in March
