Well, Mario has kind of a general appeal, so I won’t call it a niche (and it was in 12th with just physical sale). And Pikmin 4 also sold over 2 Million in just first month or so, IIRC, though not sure if that’s enough for being a top seller in a year like the one we just had.
Also, Tears of the Kingdom was on 5th overall sales, and that’s only with the physical sales. Don’t know the actual number difference between 1st and 5th, but with digital added, it could’ve at least entered top 3, if not gone for 1st.
Those Nintendo releases this year we’re bangers:
Plus the DLCs for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe came out this year.
Great year for gaming IMO. But yeah, all of these are niche enough that I wouldn’t expect any of them to be top sellers.
On the other hand, I know at least one non-gamer that got a Switch just to play Hogwarts Legacy.
