Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Strong Sales Continue Months After Launch (US)

Nice to see this and Pikmin still going strong, and even more impressive considering that's not including digital sales unlike the other games in that list, so could of been top or close to it.

Wow, really happy to see Pikmin still hanging in there!

Madden doesn’t deserve those sales. This is why we will never get a good Madden game again, EA has no incentive to change. People will just buy it anyway.

switch sales are down by a lot except for japan that is why it is time to move on to the switch 2..

@johnedwin Not really, Switch consistently outsells Xbox in most regions and occasionally is #1 in others, (France, Spain, Japan obviously). But yes, sales are a far cry from its peak, have dwindled a lot, and it's time for a new console.

@blindsquarel wait, what about Pokémon now?

Goooooo Pikmin! 🌸🥹❤️

@Axecon xbox is a non factor in console sales i was comparing the switch to the ps5

Great to TotK still in top 10 despite being a few months old, there's still plenty of buzz around the game. Also nice to see Pikmin doing decent too(even outside of Japan). Just of matter of time till it becomes the best selling in the series.

After having finished the game twice, got about 115 shrines etc, I just feel this game isn't as good as everyone has made it out to be?
I loved botw and plan on playing it again, but I just found that nintendo jammed so many gimmicks in this game, travelling was a slog, the underground got repetitive, npc dialogue went on and on, and upgrading your armour and horse was a grindy boring slog as well.
Only thing I enjoyed was the main campaign missions, thats it.
Botw, I loved every aspect of it, exploration, upgrading, divine beasts, combat etc.
Suppose it's just me

Like BOTW, TOTK should have long legs. Best part is even though they are set in the same world they offer different experiences so it is worth it to noodle around in both worlds.

I seriously hope Nintendo reveals the switch 2 soon.
And that the switch games we have get a performance boost.
Pff playing Tears of the kingdom in 4K 60FPS would be great (if the leaks are real)
After this (mehh) direct i seriously want a new Nintendo console.

The game is fun, there is no magical reason behind it like everyone like to believe. Make a fun game and people will buy it

This list is stupid. The entire world is counting in number of games or consoles sold. And then in the us they only count the dollars earned. Which means a 60 dollar game needs to sell 7 times to reach the same level as a 70 dollar game. And the gap for consoles is even bigger, Nintendo needs to sell way more units to get on ps levels because a ps5 is about 200 dollars more expensive

But happy to see totk and pikmin still standing strong

@ESC71 yes your correct with the software sales, its silly having a chart in dollar sales when software launches at different prices.
But the article states the ps5 was no1 in dollar and unit sales, and series x/s was second in dollar and unit sales too.

Miyamoto-San must have been really happy since Pikmin 4 released.

Please just give us master mode and a master sword that doesn’t suck!

I guess since people keep putting it at the top of the charts, we're just going to keep getting halfbaked games from Nintendo now. Zelda's quality is starting to go the way Pokemon did back in 2010.

@weisske Weird. I don't remember Pokemon games in 2010 being 96 MC GOTY front-runners that massively outsold previous entries and revitalized the series.

Woot woot Totk STILL GOIN STRONG!!!

@weisske the best in the series? 2010 was Black & White, the best reviewed generation of the series

My personal GOTY 💪

(come @ me if you disagree 😂)

Constantly sucked into Tears of the Kingdom and loving it. For me, it has been much more engaging, interesting and fun than BotW, overall and I loved that game.

(I did get a later start because I finished Jedi: Survivor a couple times, first).

Glad to see this brilliant game get the attention and play it deserves.

@Ralizah I'm not saying the ones immediately before black and white were good, I'm just saying black and white is where the quality really died down. It's been going downhill since gen 2

@FightMikes Do you mean the games where they introduced a literal bag of trash and ice cream cone and multiple ripoffs of gen 1 pokemon?

Mario Kart is the gift that keeps giving to Nintendo. Remarkable how many copies the series has sold. I would love to see the data on how much that series has netted Nintendo.

There is a great documentary on YT about how they developed the first one.

Armored Core sells just because it's a From Software game. I bet many are disappointed because the game doesn't play exactly like the Souls games.
@Truthisrare
It's not just you. To me, BotW is clearly the superior game mainly because it's more grounded and controls better. Sometimes less is more and if you just keep on adding more on top of more, you get a cluster****.

I just recently downloaded TOTK, and I think so far it's a bit underwhelming. I'm still on the great sky island (or whatever it's called) & have the 1st 3 abilities/upgrades, but I think ultrahand is too much of a chore (& also fuse, though to a lesser extent) & hope the game gets better. But as of now, I think one BOTW was enough.
