Pikmin 3 leaps to nearly two million sold
The time has come to gather around the fire and look at the latest Nintendo software sales data. We have new information todayas per Nintendo’s fiscal financial results(ending May 19, 2025), and the million-seller chart is starting to heat up significantly.
The top story is easily the rise ofAnimal Crossing: New Horizons. Last March, it didn’t have a spot, because it didn’t exist. That’s less than a year ago! But already, over the course of roughly nine months (as far as this report is concerned), it’s skyrocketed to 31.18 million units. That’s right on the heels of the (still-selling)Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which was released in April of 2017. Yes, nearly four years ago. That’s huge!
New headway in the charts includesSuper Mario 3D All-Stars, which pushed 8.32 million units since it arrived, about as much asRing Fit Adventure, which is now comfortably in the 8.68 million territory. IfRing Fitcontinues this momentum and pushes through to roughly 10 million sold, it could enter the coveted top 10 of all time list soon: imagine that level of success for what is ostensibly a peripheral game.
Another low key story? Nintendo is reporting thatPikmin 3 Deluxehas sold 1.94 million units. It’s the little franchise that could! The publisher has already noted that it’s proud of the sales thus far, and it brought back the doomed Wii U port from the clutches of failure.Pikminis still very much alive and well.
Other interesting numbers includeMario Kart Live(1.08 million), and the continued desire ofPokemon Let’s Go(billed as a pair, now at 13 million) andSplatoon 2(now at 11.90 million) to grasp on to the top 10 all-time seller list.
