Frequently asked questions
What is the best-selling game on a Nintendo console?
Of the titles Nintendo lists for its systems since the DS, Wii Sports: 82.9 million on the Nintendo Wii, counting copies bundled with the console, ahead of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Nintendo Switch (71.53 million).
Why are there no PlayStation or Xbox games here?
Sony and Microsoft don't publish lists of their consoles' best-selling games the way Nintendo does, so there are no official figures to rank them by.
