Breath of the Wild went past 25 million in lifetime sales, people still keep buying Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with 7.7m sales from April to December, and Pokémon Brilliant Diamond / Shining Pearl sold 11.7m in the same period.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons has accumulated a lifetime sales of 10m in Japan, far surpassing the 6.81m record in Super Mario Bros and has become the best-selling single video game in Japanese gaming history.

So, apparently 55 first-party Switch games have sold at least one million units (as of the end of last year).

Here's a list of them all:

Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet have a sell-through of 18.20 million units and has the best launch sales across all Nintendo systems, with a sell-through of 10 million units in the first 3 days.

April-to-December sell-through of Splatoon 3 is 9.4 million units; Nintendo Switch Sports has 7.9 million, Mario Strikers has 1.9 million and Xenoblade Chronicles 3 has 1.5 million. Hardware sales has dropped quite a bit, but software sales remains high.

Also, I'm surprised they're still keeping track of Nintendo 3DS and Wii U software sales.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is at 1.86 million units after eight months, which I think is really good. That's more than what Definitive Edition sold in more than twice the time. (1.68 million after 19 months.)

Fire Emblem Engage is at 1.61 million units. I think that's pretty good, all things considered, but I guess that's less than what Three Houses did in about the same amount of time. (1.61 vs. 2.29 in two months?)
