Switch continues to be an absolute beast, even as it approaches its 9th year on the market.

Fantastic sales for Mario Party Jamboree, and Echoes of Wisdom holding up very well also for an experimental entry.
 
wish we got updated numbers for all games.

I'm curious about how the Xenoblade games are faring. Xenoblade 2 must have reached 3M by now. Last number should be from Q4 2022.
