(Surprised to see Undertale so high!) Lucky for me that I’ve only played two of these games. I’ve gotta get around to Chrono Trigger one day. I’ve heard so many strong remarks about it, always been curious. That and Earthbound SNES.

Ok, Remix 5 is themed AND has a vocal song. And it's fucking cool. I hope every Remix from now on is themed.

What can we as gamers do besides buy more physical games to convince Nintendo to not abandon physical games?

Buy more physical games en masse lol

I can't afford to. Lost my job because of AI and have a limited skill set.

Just do whatever you can afford. Big or small, every gesture helps.

It hasn't sold 5m. Not sure where that estimate is from but that would mean it outsold DK and following charts CB2077 is often nowhere near as high despite being multiplatform. UK charts also give a weekly platform breakdown and Switch 2 versions is often much less than the PS5s 

It seems the game sold 5m since November 2025 (all platforms) and 10m since Nov 2024 (all platforms) from CD projeks press releeases. I think S2 is decent contributer (1-1.5m) but certainly not 5m. UK splits have so far looks liked this in recent weeks. 

PC 63%, PS5 30%, Switch2 7%
PC 59%, PS5 32%, Switch2 9%
PS5 76%, Switch2 23%, Xbox 0%
PC 69%, PS5 30%, Switch2 1%, Xbox 0%

Other markets will vary but its easy to paint a rough picture from this

The UK isn't the most unreliable place to gauge success of any kind for Nintendo platforms if we went by the UK S2 would be well behind in sales to the PS5 weekly, while 5m seems high the reasoning that it being higher than DK doesn't make it so isn't really a concrete one because DK is far from the highest selling first party title I'd say the number is at least above 2m maybe even around 3m. A number of third party games outsold the last DK game (freeze) with MH Rise, Minecraft being obvious examples.
