Hogwarts Legacy was the best-selling game in Canada in 2023, according to data from Circana (formerly The NPD Group) reported by the Entertainment Software Association of Canada (ESA).
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.
Two first-party Sony games were in the charts with Marvel's Spider-Man 2 in fifth place and God of War: Ragnarok is in 20th place.

Really makes you wonder how much money Nintendo leaves on the table by releasing only on its platform. Imagine, in an alternative universe how much back Nintendo would make as a 3rd party.
And that doesn’t even involve digital sales.
As usual, we truly are the #1 market for NHL 24 when it charts so high hahaha.
I wonder if TOTK would've taken that first place if they were to share the digital share of the numbers ... Quite impressive it can manage 2nd place with just physical sales.
