Nintendo has released the most recent sales figures for the top 10 best-selling Nintendo Switch games. After the underwhelming performance of the Wii U, the Nintendo Switch has emerged as a monumental triumph. This hybrid console has established itself as one of the best-selling home video game consoles of all time, with several of its games achieving remarkable sales figures.
Periodically, Nintendo updates the roster of the 10 best-selling Nintendo Switch games, providing enthusiasts with an insight into the system's top performers. As anticipated, the list continues to be dominated by titles published by Nintendo. According to Nintendo's latest sales data, this trend remains unchanged.
All 10 of the best-selling Switch games have been published by Nintendo. The list has remained unaltered since the last sales update from Nintendo. The same games retain their positions, with updated sales figures. For instance, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe previously stood at 57.01 million units sold, but has now surged to 60.58 million units. This boost is likely attributed to the popularity of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Switch bundles released during the holiday season.
The Top 10 Best-Selling Nintendo Switch Games as of February 2024
The next sales update from Nintendo may usher in some changes. Sales of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom have been exceptionally robust, nearing the surpassing of Super Mario Party. Additionally, it is plausible that Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will eventually overtake Pokemon Sword and Shield, having recently surpassed Pokemon Gold and Silver in the best-selling Pokemon games list, and continuing to receive support through DLC and updates.
One game that has not yet broken into the top 10 is 2023's Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Although it garnered glowing reviews and achieved sales success, it is still striving to catch up with New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. Only time will tell if it will surpass the latter, but its progress will be captivating to observe.
Meanwhile, there is widespread curiosity about Nintendo's future plans. Speculation suggests that a Nintendo Direct may take place as early as this week, during which Nintendo is anticipated to showcase upcoming games for the Nintendo Switch and possibly provide hints about its future console. However, Nintendo has not officially announced any plans for a Nintendo Direct, so fans are advised to temper their expectations for now.
