Considering it was forgotten one week after release, not bad at all.
I just completed it last weekend after picking it back up. Couldn't put it down this time. Such a brilliant little game!
For a remaster of an old game, it's not bad. Especially considering that Xenoblade 2 peaked at around 2 million (give or take).
The Ring Fit sales make me hopeful for a sequel or DLC. I was thinking about this the other day and downloadable maps would be amazing. Imagine running through Hyrule, or a Mario crossover where you go down green pipes etc. The possibilities are endless.
So happy to see Nintendo doing so well following the Wii U. Switch may well be my favourite console ever.

The rhythm game could use some more tracks, namely from ARMS, Donkey Kong, & Animal Crossing. Maybe Astral Chain as well now that Nintendo wholly owns the IP.
Wow, fantastic numbers for Pikmin!! Was worried for it, but this is great to see. They seriously need to bring back as many dormant IP as they can. Just about everything is doing insanely well on Switch.

It still makes zero sense to not release it now and then do a DX version on Switch 2. MK9 would sell at least 30m on the Switch and then they could do the exact same thing again and sell an upgraded 4K version as MK9 DX with the DLC etc on the Switch 2 and do another 20-30m again. It's a bizarre business decision.
Exactly! Seeing these numbers gives me a lot of hope for Metroid on Switch! Especially looking at Pikmin 3. I legitimately think even Prime Trilogy could pull something similar.

6 20M+ sellers, even (MK8D, ACNH, Smash, BOTW, Pokémon SwSh, SMO).
Send this to arlo cause he has been just way too down on its sales lol
And I hope to see more, especially long term. It's even fine if it's in an older IP, like Kid Icarus Uprising was. Not everything will necessarily appeal to me but I always love seeing new ideas like this. Still need to get back into Astral Chain and Ring Fit Adventure has been real nice with the pandemic. Just wish I had more motivation :P
I'm honestly expecting good numbers from Metroid Prime 4 and Metroid V. Not necessarily Mario or Zelda levels but I think it'll help establish it as a system seller for Nintendo systems. As someone who played the Metroid Prime games via emulators, I'll be down to properly get them for the Switch
Make sure to tell him that Paper Mario: The Origami King is also doing well ;)
I've been saying for a while that Prime 4 will easily be the best selling Metroid game of all time. The one that interests me most is a new 2D Metroid. Very curious to see how that would perform.

we got a mario maker 2 update after 9 months
- Super Mario Maker 2 - 6.91M (+1.43M since March 2020)
hes no more clueless than anybody else here, he was reading how it seemingly wasent charting well in the UK and such and like alot of people here took from that to mean it did poorly but the reports about sales in Japan did give him some hope
I mean I didn't look much in the UK sales anyways. And also I have a nose. He does not have a nose.
It made sense for switch since it hasnt bc. But I sure hope that's not true for switch 2.
So pls do mk9 switch 2 exclusive.
With how well everything else has been doing on Switch, I'd say that's all but a guarantee. I'm curious if they're just gonna do a retread of MP1 or go further beyond
Yeah, that's a fair question. I'd imagine a $60 price tag for a more niche 2D game would be a tough sell but maybe I'll be surprised
Wii U was mainly bought by Nintendo enthusiasts who are more willing to buy a slightly upgraded version of the same game on a new console. The situation now is very different, the Switch being wildly popular with a lot of casual players who probably are less inclined to buy the same game multiple times. So MK9 might be popular on Switch, but it could cut short MK8DX sales, and not translate to the same success of a MK9DX.
Paper Mario over 3 million is such a beautiful thing to see.
Also Animal Crossing has truly become a King lol

Are you saying that MK8 on Wii U was a slightly upgrade version of MK Wii?
No I was talking about Wii U owners who then went on to buy Switch + MK8DX. Sorry if that was unclear.
Both Paper Mario and XCDE seem to have slowed down considerably. I guess there's plenty of other Mario games for the casual fan, and a remakester doesn't drum up as much interest as an entirely new game. Still, it's curious to see, and I wonder if Super Paper Mario will remain the best-selling game in the series.
There's a three way race to 10Million between LM3, RFA, and M3DAS, that's balanced between distance and momentum. Who will win?
The distinction between Nintendo's A Teams and Nintendo's B Teams is becoming very noticeable. There are going to be very few games between 5 million and 15 million when the system's life comes to an end.

nah, most people didn't expect it to get this close to Xeno2 to begin with, they probably made a huge profit on it since it's a remake and even the additional content is a map that was cut from the original game.
Next Level's purchase is the last in a long line of dirt cheap studio purchases, like look at Luigi's sales Nintendo will break even on this investment in no time, heck they will probably break even trough Luigi's legs. The money will not stop flowing in that studio.
Go Zelda Go Zelda Go Zelda! I wonder how high this can creep until the sequel hits.
LM3 above 9m is seriously impressive.
And i think for what MK Live: Home Circuit is, they must be pretty happy with it being above 1m.
E: No Update on Fire Emblem since June last year? Lame.

These software sales numbers are insane, they have six games with 20+ million sold, and six-seven more that will likely pass the 10+ million mark. Even if people buy Nintendo hardware to play Nintendo games, these are great numbers. However, I don't see Link's Awakening or Fire Emblem sales in there. I'd imagine they must be above 1 million.
Ring Fit Trainee better not be just an echo fighter of Wii Fit Trainer in the next Smash game lol.
(Although they may just outright replace WFT depending on how they handle the roster.)

It makes sense given AoC is a third party like Mario and Rabbids, Bravely Default 2, and Dragon Quest 11. Hyrule Warriors was a licensed musou game like One Piece and the like
Do they have updated data for the rest of their games? (Tropical Freeze, Arms...)
Ring Fit easily but we will never know. In the next results all three will be above 10 millions.
Switch software has now outsold Wii U + 3DS combined.
Which as we know means we can now consider Switch a success.

And when the sequel drops the original will sell even more! Honestly pretty wild that a Zelda game might actually outsell a Smash Bros game
