The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom came in second place and was the best-selling Nintendo game. Super Mario Bros. Wonder came in seventh place and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe came in 16th place. Nintendo does not share digital sales of its games, so it is possible the games might have charted higher if digital sales were included.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III came in third place and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II came in 11th place. Another Activision Blizzard, Diablo IV, came in sixth place.
There were four annual sports titles in the top 20 with NHL 24 in fourth place, EA Sports FC 24 in eighth place, Madden NFL 24 in 17th place, and FIFA 23 in 19th place.
