Rumor: Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope has sold nearly three million copies

According to a report from VGC, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope has sold nearly three million copies. That would be combined physical and digital sales worldwide.

The VGC report, based on its sources, said the sales momentum “was partly helped by discounting on the Nintendo eShop, means Sparks of Hope is performing roughly in line with the historical performance of the first game, which went on to reach 10 million players.” However, while Kingdom Battle launched during Switch’s first year, Sparks of Hope released during a significantly higher install base.

Last year, Ubisoft co-founder and CEO Yves Guillemot said how “surprised” the company was by the game’s underperformance in the final weeks of 2022 and early January.” Later on, he brought up how it might have been better to hold off on launching the title until Nintendo put out the successor to the Switch.

Ubisoft has not officially provided a sales report on Mario + Rabbids Sparks’ sales. But based on today’s rumor, it seems that the game is doing relatively well.
