Alongside updated hardware numbers, Nintendo also provided fresh lifetime sales figures for its top-selling titles. To no one’s surprise, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe continues to rule, reaching 64.27 million sales as of September 30th, 2024. Its last milestone was 62.9 sales, which means an additional 1.37 million units sold in the fiscal quarter.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is in second place with 46.45 million sales (from 45.85 million in the previous quarter). Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is in fourth place with 35.14 million units sold, followed by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild at 32.29 million sales and Super Mario Odyssey at 28.50 million.
