Thanks to the new Nintendo financial update for the fiscal year ending July 19, 2025,we have new software data: and it’s not super exciting! Let’s dive into another Switch software sales update, as Nintendo reveals that it has 39 “million-seller” titles, with 26 of them falling under the first-party category, and 13 from third-party publishers.
Here’s how things look right now as of July 07, 2025:
The big bolded bit is the important part here, asPokemon Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearlended up becoming a huge hit for Nintendo in a relatively short amount of time. It beat outLet’s Go, finally, which is something any number of projects have been trying to do since November of 2018. If it keeps this pace up it’ll at least beat outSuper Mario Partyfor the 7th overall slot.
Everything else had relatively marginal gains in this new Switch software sales update. The last check-in date was Aug 10, 2025, and at that point,Mario Kart 8had penetrated the market with 43.35 million in sales: so the increase was fairly small (comparatively: it’s still a powerhouse!).Animal Crossingpushed an additional million in sales in that same time period between December 31 and March 31. The rest generally sold an extra half a million copies or less. ExpectPokemon Legendsto make waves eventually if it keeps selling and knockRing Fit Adventureoff the list: it has 11.4 million in sales and counting in 10 weeks’ time.
WhenNintendo was talking about “evergreen” titles losing their luster,”these marginal increases are what they’re talking about. The gaming market has become so saturated that it can be really tough to keep peddling the same games.
