Torpoleon said: The list has been updated through March 31, 2023! Mario Party Superstars has joined the club, making the total list 58 games. 18 are Switch games, which means that it has almost has many 10m sellers as Wii & DS combined. Will match them with TOTK and could exceed them in the next update depending on how much Switch Sports sells (will surpass them easily by the end of the year anyways). Legends: Arceus is now the highest selling single version Pokemon game. It and LGPE should be able to surpass BW. Maybe BDSP can as well. Odyssey should overtake SWSH. TOTK will probably begin in the Top 30 with the next update. Even when Switch 10m sellers amount surpasses Wii & DS, the total sales will still be less because of Wii Sports, but it should surpass total sales eventually as well. Kirby & Mario Maker 2 will probably join the club in a year or two. |
TotK and Switch Sports will bring the total to 60. That is a nice round number, but I think it will keep going. The question is by how much. I do think Kirby will make #61, but I don't think Mario Maker is selling 1m+ annually anymore, so I don't think we'll get a 10m+ announcement for it.
My original prediction was 63 after all Switch games are accounted for. I do think there is a decent chance of another 2, 10m+ sellers getting released. With games like Luigi's Mansion, Mario Party, and Kirby getting into the 10m+ range, it doesn't take a top tier IP to get another 10m+ seller. A new Tomodachi game could do it as well.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
My Bet With curl-6
