The Nintendo Switch generation has been massive for the console maker, with many of their first-party titles easily selling in excess of 10 million copies. With the Switch 2 closing in on its 1 year anniversary, Nintendo has shared an updated list of its game sales \u2013 confirming that multiple titles are nearing major milestones.\n<\/p>\n

As published to its IR Information page<\/a>, Nintendo shared updated sales stats for all of its Switch generation games (up until the 31st of March 2026).\n<\/p>\n

In terms of Switch 2 exclusives, there are already a number of big successes, with the most notable being<\/a> Mario Kart World (currently at 14.7 million copies sold). It is worth stressing that World was offered as part of a launch console bundle<\/a> and so its numbers are somewhat skewed.\n<\/p>\n

The second best-selling Switch 2 exclusive meanwhile is Donkey Kong Bananza<\/a>, which has so far sold a total of 4.52 million units<\/a>. In terms of more recent releases, Pokemon Pokopia<\/a> has managed to sell-through 4 million copies during its first 5 weeks.\n<\/p>\n

Of course, Nintendo has also released many different Switch 2 Editions of past games, helping to push these last-gen titles to new heights. Some of the biggest in this regard include:<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

Animal Crossing: New Horizons (49.91 million)
\nThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (33.84 million)
\nThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom\u00a0 (22.56 million)
\nSuper Mario Party Jamboree (9.96 million)<\/p>\n

In case you missed it, Nintendo also shared updated sales stats for its consoles, confirming that the Switch 2 is closing in on 20 million units sold. Full details on the hardware breakdown can be found HERE<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n
