Super Mario Odyssey surpasses 500,000 copies sold in the UK, second Switch game to do so
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Super Mario Odyssey has reached a new milestone in the UK. Propelled by the latest sales coming from Black Friday, the game has surpassed 500,000 copies sold.
Switch only has one other title to hit the same mark, and most would probably be able to guess what it is. Indeed: it’s Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
Note that digital sales aren’t included here. If they were, Super Mario Odyssey probably would have surpassed the 500k mark a little while ago.

Just in time for Black Friday, Nintendo offered a special Switch bundle last week containing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. There wasn’t really a similar option in Europe (at least officially), but that will be changing soon.
Reports indicate that Nintendo is readying a similar Mario Kart bundle for Switch in Europe. In France, 60,000 units will be made available to the public. No word yet on an official release date, but it’s due out in the very near future.

The week of Black Friday sales has come to an end, and GamesIndustry has an early report on the latest data from the UK.
Last week, several Switch titles saw big increases. Zelda: Breath of the Wild rose the most by 111%. Super Mario Odyssey and Super Mario Party were right behind having increased 110%. Finally, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was up 98%. Along with Black Friday week, new Switch adopters from Pokemon’s release likely played a factor.
Speaking of Pokemon, after their launch week, sales for Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee understandably fell. The two dropped 43% and 55% respectively.
