Super Mario Odyssey is Amazon's best selling Video Game SKU of 2017

How is this even possible. Don't games like AC, COD, GTA5, and other uber mainstream favorites always sell more?

Yes, digitally (or in split up SKUs).
Those will show up amalgamed as "PS store gift card". The only games that will show up directly on Amazon are physical games.
Hence the Switch game cards having an edge. (Because the other platforms outright discourage from getting games physically.)

My point was that we will likely have a similar thread once the year is actually over. Not that another game will overtake SMO.

Haha I know, don't worry. I'm just hyped for Xenoblade.

I feel like I should have definitely should have grabbed this before Breath of the Wild.

Am looking forward to the day when I get my hands on it.

if the ps card is the best seller, people are buying that to buy games on the store. So somewhere, some game on PSN is selling better than SMO.

Can't you use that card to pay PSN fees? Or buy music? Or buy videos?

Zelda for WiiU above PS4 Destiny 2? That surprised me even considering this is just amazon sales.

That top 3.

All Switch.

it's why amazon isnt a good metric for game rankings. if Walmart and Gamestop had a similar list for games but based on sold in stores, you'd see a much different list (and one that would be in line with NPD)
