Ring Fit Adventure

According to a Famitsu report translated by Siliconera, Nintendo’s fitness RPG Ring Fit Adventure reached a milestone in selling 1 million units in Japan after 8 months. The outlet also notes that Ring Fit Adventure sold 2.73 million units globally as of December 31, 2019. This milestone is further significant when considering that Ring Fit Adventure is only available with physical peripherals, meaning that these sales are all physical without digital downloads.
