Daaaang Zelda 18.51 million! Incredible. Next quarter Switch will presumably get two new 20 million sellers to hit nine total! Crazy. Switch's top 10 is a thing of legend. By end of this fiscal year, with Mario Wonder, all 10 should be over 20m, with 7 over 25m, and presumably with another half year or so before successor comes out. And with presumably backwards compatibility next gen (because it'd be completely insane not to) some of these games will keep selling a bit for years as new gamers come of age and want to try out the best of the Switch.
Switch had a great quarter for hardware, but we all knew that was coming with the extended Zelda boost. Looking very good for hitting that 15m figure this fiscal year, especially with a new 2D Mario this Fall. Normal trajectory probably would've put HW sales at just under 3m for the quarter, instead it did a million extra!
Anyone wanna do quarterly sales for those top 10 - how much each sold during the quarter? |
Software Top 10
Total sales followed by sales added to the total in Q1
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: 55.46m + 1.67m
Animal Crossing NH: 42.79m + 580k
Smash Bros Ultimate: 31.77m + 680k
Zelda BOTW: 30.65m + 840k
Super Mario Odyssey: 26.44m + 680k
Pokémon Sword/Shield: 25.92m + 100k
Pokémon Scarlet/Violet: 22.66m + 560k
Super Mario Party: 19.39m + 250k
Zelda TOTK: 18.51m NEW
New Super Mario Bros. U: 16.17m + 760k |
Thanks!
Ahh I guess SMP will take until end of the year to hit 20m. Makes sense I was getting confused between that one and the newer one in terms of what its quarterly sales would be around. Dang Mario Odyssey outselling Pokemon S/V in the quarter is crazy, and Odyssey equaling quarterly sales for Smash! I guess the Mario movie boosted Odyssey sales. I would love to see Odyssey end up hitting 30m, it'll be close.
I assume BotW got a nice boost from the TotK release.
NSMBUD selling three quarter of a million in the quarter...wow. I mean I'm sure it's higher thanks to the Mario movie but still that's impressive. Ya gotta think Mario Wonder is gonna be HUGE given how well a fairly mediocre last gen port that launched with little fanfare has done and is still doing after several years! I wonder if Mario Wonder will hit 20m during the holidays. One would think it should pass NSMBUD in sales by a WIDE margin lifetime.
