And at some others; The Last of Us’s sales are divided in two releases; an original one, and a remaster. I don’t get why that’s always forgotten for this game and only this game and why it’s somehow privileged to be counted as one. Remasters aren’t the same as a multiplat. Neither release outsold Breath of the Wild so it’s natural given BotW’s position on the chart that neither release made it. Similarly Mario Kart doesn’t seem to include the WiiU version because the Switch version as a remaster is counted separately. It being just a couple spots above BotW with its 20M or something sales is logical. If it had included the original WiiU game its sales would be nearing 30M and with nearly all those at full price it would have probably put it between the Call of Duties. Breath of the Wild likely does include the WiiU version since that game is just a regular multiplat with simultaneous releases of exactly the same game across a couple consoles, like every CoD on there. BotW Switch+WiiU also outsells Mario Odyssey if I’m not mistaken which explains why it’s not there. Also, 7 out of the top 10 are CoD. Lol. |
FYI, Remastered and Enchanted port like MK8D and TLOU remastered are counted together with their original release.
Mariko Kart 8 + Mariko Kart 8 Deluxe = Mario Kart 8
TLOU + TLOU remastered = TLOU
