19.5 million for TOTK. Nicely done Nintendo.

You and your generic comments. Must really want that N4G reward.

No surprise. People always wildly overestimate how well games sold before about 2010. People also have a habit of lumping all Nintendo first party games together and assuming that because 3D Mario, Smash, and Mario Kart games sell like crazy, Metroid and Donkey Kong must also sell like that. It's only really with the last few games that Zelda has jumped up into that higher Nintendo sales echelon.

remember those PS2 days where games were lucky to hit 1-2 million. Like that was the benchmark for most good games. Sure there were obviously exceptions, but by and large 99% of games probably sold like 3 mil or less. RPGs especially were often lucky to hit 500-750k which is why a lot of those PS2 RPGs are so valuable today.... Gaming really has ballooned now that it consists of kids from the 80s up through present time.
