Honestly, it’s crazy Mario Kart 8 Deluxe continues to sell very well.

Of course, worldwide, the latest data confirms that the game is currently sitting at over 60 million copies sold.
That is to say, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is gradually approaching that attractive milestone of 8 million…

Looking at the week’s hardware, Switch figures are up slightly from previous data, while PS5 figures are (surprise, surprise) down slightly.
