As much as I’d like to, I find this hard to believe. Where’s Super Mario Bros. (NES), Duck Hunt, Pokémon Red/Blue and especially Wii Sports? I probably forgot other huge sellers. I doubt BotW is the #10.

NPD counts Pokemon games as separate entries.  Like Sword and Shield are two different games on NPD charts.  And to answer S.Peelman, I doubt they include pack-ins in their charts like Super Mario Bros. 1 or Wii Sports.  Also, when I was making this table, I somewhat wondered if they counted games from the 20th century, since NPD didn't exist at that time. Even if they didn't it wouldn't change the total too much.  Most entries are from the 21st century, and those last few entries are pretty close to one another in number.

If they counted Wii Sports Resort... And it becomes iffy regardless because other games on that list were bundled at some point as well. Anyway it doesn’t matter, your second point may be right, they also only counted from a certain date. Which sadly makes this untrue non-news.
