You may recall that, during Nintendo‘s financial results briefing, they had confirmed that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has sold 61,970,000 copies so far, making the #1 best-selling game on the Nintendo Switch. However, it turns out that this isn’t the only major accomplishment that the game managed to achieve.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has not only become the best-selling Switch game, but it has officially become the best-selling game that Nintendo has ever released. The only game that sold more than this is technically Wii Sports, but the number is considered a bit of a technicality as it was bundled with the Wii in some regions.
