Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
New data has come in revealing the best-selling games in France for 2022. We have the full top twenty here with specific unit sales.
Pokemon was a big performer for Nintendo, with Pokemon Legends: Arceus selling nearly 600,000 copies and coming in at #3. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet also did well – had their sales been combined, they’d be at over 700,000 units. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Nintendo Switch Sports are also in the top five. Keep in mind that Nintendo doesn’t report digital data, so the Big N’s placements are only based on physical copies sold.
