Hamster Corporation has been one of the steadiest supporters of the Switch since day one with their Arcade Archives NeoGeo titles. Today, they announced that combined worldwide sales for all ACA NeoGeo games have exceeded one million. More Arcade Archives games are on the way, naturally, like Samurai Showdown II next week.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild has done remarkably well in Japan. It’s the second-highest-selling Zelda game in Japan since Ocarina of Time, which released in 1998. All other entries that have released over the past 18 years have been outsold.

Since launch, Zelda: Breath of the Wild has sold 957,752 copies at retail. If digital sales were counted, the total amount is certainly over one million. The latest Wii U figures are also not counted here.

Switch – 43,027
PS4 – 37,572
PS4 Pro – 14,935

New sales data is in from the UK for the month of December.

When it came to physical sales, Nintendo was the #3 company. Super Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Zelda: Breath of the Wild all charted. Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon also would have placed at #11 had sales of the two games been combined.

This week’s issue of Famitsu reveals the top 100 best-selling games of 2017. A ton of games on Nintendo platforms made the list. In fact, 3DS and Nintendo Switch titles make up the full top ten.

Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon was the top-seller on 3DS and overall with just over two million copies sold. Splatoon 2 follows second with over 1.75 million units sold.

Switch has actually sold more units in its first ten months in Portugal than Wii U managed to in five years. To date, the system has moved 20,000 units. That may not seem like a whole lot, but Switch still managed to already reach a major milestone in Portugal, surpassing Nintendo’s previous console in less than a year.

Following similar stories from multiple other countries, the Switch has become the fastest selling console of all time in Spain. In its first ten months on the market, the Switch has sold more units than any other system to date. The previous record holder was the Wii.

Last March, the Switch set another record in Spain when it became the country’s most successful console launch of all time, selling 44,673 units during its launch weekend. It seems like the Switch was able to keep up that momentum throughout the rest of 2017.
