Once again showing how Nintendo's 1st party is second to none. Super Mario Party baffles me still. 10 million, the best selling game in the franchise...with the least amount of content. Pokemon SS will definitely surpass DPP, and seeing that the DS had a install base of over 154 Million vs Switch's 55 Million, this makes that figure even more astonishing.

And finally Zelda beating out a 3D Mario...this is to my knowledge unprecedented. Nintendo's in the best shape they've been in a good while. Can't wait to see what's next.

I think the Coronavirus is helping it a bit right now. Nothing like a partygame when you can't go anywhere with your kids.

Another thing you need to consider is that 1 through 7 and 10 released on consoles which sold much less than the Switch already does, and partygames on a handheld are rather awkward to play together, even with the huge success of the DS. That just leaves the two Wii titles are real competition to the Switch version - and those came out at unfortunate times (8 came out so fast after the other ones that a severe franchise fatigue set in, 9 came out at the end of the Wii's lifespan when it's sales were dropping like a rock) that it's actually just normal that the Switch version wins out. I guess unlike the Wii titles, it just came out at the right time.
