Summary
Nintendo has provided updated sales numbers for the 10 best-sellingSwitchgames. Following the disastrous Wii U, theNintendo Switchhas been a massive success. The home console/handheld hybrid has become one of the best-selling home video game consoles of all time, with many of its games posting impressive sales numbers.
Nintendo has periodically updated thelist of the 10 best-selling Nintendo Switch games, giving fans an idea of what has performed well on the system. As one might imagine, the 10 best-selling Switch games list has been dominated by Nintendo-published titles. Based on the latest sales data provided by Nintendo, that remains true.
All 10 of the best-selling Switch games were published by Nintendo. The list hasn’t changed since the last time Nintendo shared sales data. All the same games are represented, and they are even in the same position as they were last time. However, the specific sales numbers for the games have been updated. For example, at last count,Mario Kart 8 Deluxewas at 57.01 million units sold, but it has now reached 60.58 million units. It’s quite likely that this boost was in part thanks to the popularMario Kart 8 DeluxeSwitch bundlesthat Nintendo released over the holiday season.
