1. Pokemon Scarlet/Violet
2. Pokemon Legends: Arceus
3. Mario Kart 8
4. Kirby and the Forgotten Land
5. Nintendo Switch Sports
6. Super Smash Bros Ultimate
7. Animal Crossing: New Horizons
8. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
9. Mario Party Superstars
10. Splatoon 3
Digital sales for all of these games aren’t included (except for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga).
Are there fewer people playing SMM2 than last year? Seems like I’m Playing against the same people all the time as of recently.
Mario Kart 8 being #3 is pretty wild being that it was originally released nearly 9 years ago.
Interesting that the #1 selling game came out 6 weeks before the end of the year
And this is why GameFreak will never try to make a high-quality Pokemon game.
There are so many good indy games that I play way more than the games on this list. If only they had the advertising money these AAA titles have.
I’m convinced Switch Sports would’ve been at the top if it was able to capture that magic of Wii Sports.
Kirby making it to #4 is awesome! Pink puff deserves it for a great 3D outing.
Would love to see Metroid Dread there
Even thou its a bug fest and runs like shit, I really liked my gaming time in pokemon violet, also recently got kirby..cause its kirby and damn its a great game so much detail and so much fun
Just goes to show our complaints about these games ultimately mean nothing because the masses buy them like hot cakes
Sad that games like Triangle Strategy or Xenoblade Chronicles 3 didn’t make the list 🙁
Interesting ACNH is in the top 10 when they completely dropped the ball in providing future updates at the end of 2021.
A lot more people bought sports than I had thought
I’m sorry but pokemon is such garbage nowadays. I can’t believe BOTW isn’t even top 10. Absolute masterpiece.
Edit: 2022 games only. But still, sword and shield was the last pokemon game I’ll buy unless something major changes
“Digital sales not included”
So then, this data is not even close to accurate.
big asterisk – this doesn’t include digital downloads. Not very solid data.
Didn’t I just read about Ubisoft complaining Sparks of Hope failed to meet expectations? What the hell are they expecting, to outsell Pokemon and Mario Kart?
I fucking hate these posts.
It’s a link to a link to an image full of text. This shit is so slow and annoying.
Why not just post the text?
#1 this year will be Tears of the Kingdom
Sold my Violet copy after just a few weeks, im not supporting GameFreaks shit business practices anymore, i’ll just play Sun/Moon on my 3DS
What Pokémon switch game would anyone on here recommend for a Pokémon noob and an enthusiastic 8 year old? I keep seeing the scarlet version as very popular but I remember reading about a recent version that wasn’t so popular. Thanks
Is there one that lists *Pokémon* *Scarlet* and *Pokémon* *Violet* separately?
Man we are never getting new devs for Pokemon, feels bad
Crazy that Smash is still in the top 10
Seeing Splatoon 3 in 10th place breaks my heart. That game deserves all the success in the world. I hope its digital sales are really high.
I was going to say who the heck is still buying Mario Kart in 2022?
Then I realized I did…
