I think the * at the end of all Nintendo games means that digital purchases isn’t counted. Not sure what the typical physical-digital split is on Switch. 50/50? Would be fun to know how high up Pokémon actually is in a fair list, pretty sure RDR2 is far far behind at least.
Switch is still selling that well despite it being by far the oldest and weakest hardware? No wonder Nintendo is not in a rush to come out with new hardware. I’m sure the console having a lot exclusives help as well.
