Impressive.
The Top 3 games are Switch games.

What he said. I was expecting BotW to be the top game, not MK8D (not that I mind).I expected BOTW to be in first place before I clicked the link. I expected MK8D to be up there, but not in first place.
At least on Amazon.That list seems really weird. Nier has outsold every sports game?

I watched Dan at giantbomb play this morning. I couldn't stop smiling. This game is going to be GOATUh... it might be time for me to buy a Switch. I knew this game was looking great from previews, but the sales/reviews/hype is getting to me pretty quickly.
WELL DAMN!
Also the best selling game of 2017 on Amazon France!

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was the first before, but disappeared from all ranking, surely because of an error from Amazon.fr
Edit : wait, Zelda also disappeared from all ranking, this is fishy....
Wii U owners have been waiting for that game forever. If they're not going to get a Switch for whatever reason or will get it too late, might as well get it on the Wii U and send it off on a high note. Essentially what I did before I got the Switch several months laterThe Year of Nintendo continues.
Not surprised to see MK8D as number 1 though. That game gets more and more addictive the more you play and figure it out (too bad Deluxe took out firehopping. Dx<) I'm more shocked that BotW on Wii U did as well as it did. Talk about going out with a bang!

People love Mario Kart. Mario Kart Wii has sold over 35 million copies. Mario Kart DS sold over 20 million. And Mario Kart 8 was the best-selling Wii U game.I expected BOTW to be in first place before I clicked the link. I expected MK8D to be up there, but not in first place.
lol
Yeah, I just assumed most Wii U owners and Nintendo fans would just move on to the Switch and the Wii U version would maybe sell a million if it got lucky. Guess there were more slow adopters than we thought :PThat's what I did; hitched myself to the Wii U and figured I'd get my money's worth before I found a responsible avenue to purchase a Switch. However, the install base of the Wii U was so small that I figured BotW's sales wouldn't be anything to write home about in the long run.
Clearly most game fans buy games outside of amazon period. Most of the best selling games of 2017 (Destiny, Ghost Recon, NBA 2K17, For Honor, etc) are under the likes of ARMS, Kingdom Hearts, Metroid: SR, and FE:E. We know how those actually performed so this news has limits on its relevancy.At least on Amazon.
Most sport games fans buy the games at Gamestop and similiar retailers.
