Nintendo is also the top-selling publisher for 2018, with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate becoming the fastest-selling Nintendo Switch game of all time and the fastest-selling game in the mascot brawler series, with more than 3 million copies sold in 11 days.

Whereas Pokémon Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon Let’s Go, Eevee! combined have sold 2 million copies, with Super Mario Party selling 1.4 million copies.

“We are thrilled to see such a strong reaction from consumers in the second holiday season for Nintendo Switch,” enthuses Doug Bowser, Nintendo of America’s senior vice president of sales and marketing. “We’re looking forward to delivering more excitement and smiles to our fans in the coming year and beyond.”
