Comment on Top-selling video games ever (2025)

Not a good chart. They mix franchises and titles in the same chart which is a strange choice. Mario Kart 8 certainly did not sell that much, seeing as there are only 13 million Wii U’s. They meant Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for Switch. They also got the wrong logo for Super Mario Bros, somehow. It’s the New Super Mario Bros. logo but with the “New” cut out.

Don’t know about the numbers but Mario Kart 8 is for switch.

Mario Kart 8 is a Wii U game that was later ported to Switch under the name Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
The number looks like they added the sales numbers for both together, which I think makes sense. It’s expanded but not a new game.

At that point, it’s combining SKUs of what they consider to be the main “game”. Non-deluxe Mario Kart 8 is a rounding error. Tetris gets really weird to count.
