Super Mario Odyssey is now the second best selling game of 2017 in Amazon.

Wow at that list.
Ignoring the point cards that are always there, it's clear this year's big winners are Guerilla Games and Nintendo. And no offense to GG, but they've only got one SKU in that list, as opposed to the roughly ten billion Nintendo products.
Koizumi and Kimishima are the heroes we never knew we needed.
So happy that it is selling well. Switch software has been great given the negativity on the hardware last January.
But will this have a higher than 1:1 attachment ratio like Zelda did for a while?
Check mate, salesist.

Makes sense Switch dominates the top. Switch has less internal space and Nintendo games hold their value more than any other game, both incentives to buy physical over digital.
While Odyssey is going to sell fantastically, Amazon isn't a great barometer for software sales.
I still don't think I'll comprehend how amazing Pokémon will do
No doubt this is the year of Nintendo or the return of Nintendo or both. Surprising to see Xbox one x so far down the list there.
Nintendo is doing everything right . Zelda and Mario on first year, robust indie support, and even third parties are getting excited and bringing some ports .
Super Mario Odyssey is already sold out in amazon.fr. The attach rate is going to be insane !
EDIT: the Mario bundle is already sold out in amazon.com.

Well yeah, do you see any other Super Mario titles on the Switch? It's been a long four years.
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
You didn't get the starving meme hehe
My wife said that as she passed the games department at Target this morning (just after opening), there was already 2 moms asking for Mario. This game is going to wreck the holiday
Not exactly surprised that Mario has already surpassed Zelda as Mario has a greater appeal that Zelda.
(Assuming the Pokémon games get released in 2018)

In hindsight it was completely foolish to expect either Pokemon or Smash Bros this year. Judging by the size of EPD and the fact they're now dedicated to one system (and one team for smartphones), the Switch's best years are still ahead of it.
Mario and Mario Kart always way outsell Zelda games. Zelda's a harder sell to the kid/family/causal gamer crowd than those games.
While this is true, BotW is still the best selling Switch game of the year in North America.
Edit - Actually, there's a slight chance this may no longer be true, as I keep forgetting BotW also launched on Wii U. That version is still selling enough each month to allow the game to rank higher than MK8D on NPD, despite Mario Kart usually selling more copies on Switch each month than Zelda.
Hot damn, it's been out for 1 day as opposed to almost 6 months for MK8D and 8 months for BOTW! Not a surprise by any means, but SMO will be absolutely massive. I wouldn't be surprised to see this game breaking the previous 3D Mario sales record (12 million or so) quite easily.
Yeah, I had this discussion with Mat at some point. The Wii U version of BOTW sells more than the Wii U version of MK8, which is enough to offset the slight sales advantage of MK8D compared to BOTW Switch.
After DS and Wii, lightning in a bottle for an encore? In France Switch conversations, the demand & awareness it has, remind me of these periods.
Yep. Hope they can do well at ramping up production and getting those bundles on store shelves between now and Xmas as they can really making a killing if they can get the supply on shelves.
Okay I just went to Best Buy to pick up my Amiibos and saw tons of mario at the back counter while having relatively few copies of AC and wolfenstein.
This game is going to sell really well in States. This was the first time I saw this many games on the back counter during 3 months of residency.

yeah I really wish I brought my phone in to take a picture. my best buy had so many fucking copies of this game, I've never seen anything like it.
So when should we expect folks to start calling the Switch a fad and an anomaly for Nintendo?
