Only 23 games that have sold over a million copies? That sucks, that means VGC has overtracked quite a few. If you break up Pokemon LGPE, we have it at 26. So not by much, Still, if you assume our official shipped numbers are accurate, and that our sales estimates aren't off by all that much, then the only games that could be the three that we overtracked are Skyrim, FIFA 18, and Crash Trilogy. If Pokemon counts as one title in Nintendo's 23, then one of those three I mentioned is still a million seller. If Labo doesn't count as a game in Nintendo's mind, which I doubt, then we only overtracked one of those three. Probably not though, so best case we still overtracked 2 out of Skyrim, FIFA 18, and Crash. My money is on Crash being the one VGChartz's numbers are right about as a million seller.
On the other hand, Wii had 160+ million sellers, so one or two here and there for Switch changes pretty little in the long run. |
Check out RolStoppable's excellent posts. They explain in great detail what this actually means but I'll sum it up.
They had 23 million+ sellers of physical games just during the previous fiscal year....not all time.

Ah I understand now. I skimmed too quickly through the article, the bullet on million sellers didn't specifically mention that fiscal year, I assumed LTD. If I'd noticed those Mario Kart numbers, I think that would have clued me in. If those Mario Kart numbers are for its second year on the market though, damn, Mario Kart is the fucking king of evergreen titles. Holy shit. Only free to play, Minecraft, and GTA competes with that kind of evergreen power nowadays. It nearly doubled it sales in the second year!
