Europe’s best-selling games of June, first half of 2024
Posted on 6 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
GSD data provides a look at the best-selling games across Europe in June 2024 as well as the first half of 2024. It’s based on data for all physical game releases in major markets plus digital game sales from most major publishers.
For June specifically, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD charted the highest out of new releases at #7, and that’s without digital data considered. Believe it or not, it was only 4,000 copies away from becoming the fastest-selling Switch game this year. Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door still holds that record. Note that Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD sold just under a third of what Luigi’s Mansion 3 achieved during its opening week in 2019.
