I wouldn't be surprised if, when all is said and done, Switch Sports ends up in the top 10 best selling Switch games, it's legs are crazy good, 1.37m in a quarter over two years post-release.
| firebush03 said: Interesting observation to point out: Among 2017 releases, it was BotW which out-legged Mario Odyssey (despite having had the larger launch). Among 2023 releases, it seems to be Mario Wonder which is out-legging TotK (despite having had the larger launch). Wonder why that is? Maybe the overall gaming market has less of an appetite for massive open world games? Maybe Mario has simply grown more in popularity over the Switch gen — having MK8D, Mario Movie, etc. — than Zelda, hence is better as an evergreen? |
Interestingly enough, Mario Odyssey has been slowing catching up to BOTW recently; this quarter it closed the gap by 410k.
With a total gap of 3.58m though, Odyssey may not catch up before they both reach their final tally.
