Smash Bros, Mario Kart, and Zelda all sold above NSMB U this month, even though it was released this year. I am trying to figure out what is more impressive: Zelda or Smash Bros? On previous systems Smash Bros was a really front loaded title. This month it was the second best selling game on the Switch. Somehow the franchise has shifted from front loaded to evergreen. And of course their is Zelda which is up at #4 on the Switch over two years after launch. Mario Odyssey and Splatoon 2 have sold well in the US, but they can't quite keep their legs going like these other 2 games. Smash and Zelda are both huge monsters (and so is Mario Kart 8, but that is not too big of a surprise).
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
