The BIU, the German games industry association, has revealed its sales awards for this past November. Super Mario Odyssey has received the platinum award, which means that it sold between 200,000 and 500,000 copies in November alone. Splatoon 2 got the gold award, meaning that it sold between 100,000 and 200,000 copies.
These are both very impressive numbers, especially since Mario Odyssey launched in October and Splatoon 2 was released all the way back in July.
