Super Mario 3D World tops Europe's half-year games charts in 2021
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury was the best-selling game across Europe in the first six month.
The video game hero Mario is showing no signs of fatigue even after 36 years, in fact quite the opposite: his current adventure Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury is posting staggering sales this year and was the best-selling game across Europe in the first six months. An exclusive special analysis by GfK Entertainment has revealed that the Nintendo Switch title has taken the half-year lead in Austria, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland and the UK and secured a podium place in six of the 19 other countries surveyed.
Unsurprisingly, the FIFA series also figured at the top of the half-year standings: FIFA 21, the new football simulation installment, was Europe's second most successful game between January and June and headed the charts in Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Slovakia, Spain and Sweden. Other top sellers were the racing game Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (nine top 3 places), the block by block building game Minecraft (six top 3 places) and the Open World-stunner GTA V (five top 3 places).
The basis of the special survey was sales of video and PC games in the physical markets of the following countries: Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK.
