  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.

  I’ve literally never heard of “Human Fall Flat” before seeing this image

    I honesty thought it was more of a streamer game. Had no idea it sold that much.

    From what I interpret off the Wikipedia page, it had sold single digit millions by COVID and then went viral in China during COVID and that’s how it ended up selling tens of millions more

      Fascinating!

      I’d be interested in seeing a list that was adjusted for the “number of gamers” at the time. A game selling a million copies today isn’t the same level of accomplishment as selling a million copies in 1985 when there was a smaller global market.

    Me neither. And I… have it on Steam, apparently?

  Didn’t think the Witcher 3 had caught up to infinite releases Skyrim. TW3 will have another big bump when the new expansion hits. It’ll probably get rewnewed interest from modders as well

  has Human Fall Flat really sold more than Overwatch? I always thought it was a small indie game. It even beats out Stardew Valley

  I’ve seen it on storefronts a lot but haven’t tried it before

    It is a small indie game. And yes, it sold that much. Every time I see that stat, it blows my mind.

      Me too, because the game itself sucks pretty bad.
