Further data: TTYD Remake sales figures are identical to that of TOK & stronger than SMRPG Remake.
Noting that TOK had the benefit of (i) releasing during COVID (gaming boom! The height of Switch popularity.), (ii) being an original title, and (iii) TTYD is releasing in a far less energized market (as a consequence of a world economy which is in shambles, Switch being in its Twilight Years, etc etc.), this is a very impressive showing. Especially for in the UK, which — as has all of Europe — has seen among the largest drop in vg sales compared to US and Japanese. Wouldn’t be surprised if other areas (especially in the US) see TTYD outperform TOK worldwide.
When I first started reading your comment, I thought you meant Tears of the Kingdom. I was very confused lol
