Super Mario Odyssey Crosses 2 Million Copies Sold After Only 3 Days

@onesiphorus: I think as long as the Switch continues to sell, Odyssey will sell. It a Mario Kart Deluxe are probably going to be one of those games that hang around the top sellers for years.

@metallinatus: Who the heck says that in 2017? Many games are SP, or are barely MP (WD 1&2, MGSV TPP, AC, ME A, Uncharted, TLoU).

The only game that mostly sells due to MP despite having strong SP content is GTAV.

@metallinatus: Don't know when companies will realize to not base single player sales on the FPS genre which exist solely for MP for many. And many games that shove in MP thinking it will sell well, would have likely sold exactly the same if it didn't have it i.e. the Uncharted series.

@jinzo9988: Really? When I picked up the controller on Odyssey for the first time, I immediately felt like I was playing Mario 64. Just the way that Mario controls feels a lot more like SM64 than any of the recent games.

It was nostalgic for me just running around.

@xOmniCloudx: If you remove the doctors and the casuals from the Wii sales, you'll see it wasn't any better than the Wii U. Many traditional gamers loathed the Wii in the long run. Hence the Wii U's performance.

@Devil_wings00: Switch has a good bit of games dude.. Zelda, MK8, SPlatoon 2, ARMs, Pokken Tournament, Fire Emblem Warriors, Mario + Rabbids, and more plus over 200 indie games in Eshop, many of which are good games. Golf Story, and Stardew Valley have been selling really well. Add in Mario Odyssey and its pretty much has 2 must have games, and some good exclusives. Games like Splatoon 2 are considered must haves in Japan too. Rest of the year looks good to, and the beginning of 2018.

@Bushido415: Don't forget the Switch is said to be region free. No more hassle with the dussle! Can play an European cartridge on a Japanese Switch in North America.

Thanks again for the info, guys. Very helpful!

@Bushido415: I felt the same way about Nintendo for a while, but had faith in the Switch. Both games you mentioned are GOTY contenders in their own right. I put over 90 hours into Zelda BOTW(didnt realize i played it that much). Currently addicted to Mario Odyseey.

My commute to and from work is about 3 hours. It gives me a lot of time to play my Switch. Im still waiting for other titles, but what Nintendo has released has held me over. If you commute and love games, the Switch is a must have. Also, you can bet that Nintendo always releases top quality first party titles. My PS4 and Xbone have not gotten as much love lately as my Switch. You wont regret purchasing it.

@Bushido415: Yeah, they are at least Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64 levels, which is way above where Sunshine and Galaxy stood imo....

They are the "Ocarina" and the "64" of this era for sure, if that tells you anything.

@Bushido415:

Both are the best in their respective series and the best in class.

@TruDawg32: ^ See that attitude, raging fan boys and girls? That's what we call a gamer. Ain't complainin', only lovin'!

@doctor_mg: Hurray!! Joyous day!! Now too bad our world is still crumbling into disorder, poverty and environmental ruin while foreign corporations stay fat and bloated.

@moonco: In short, we have to nuke Nintendo off the Earth to save ourselves? That's a tough choice...
