Unsurprisingly, everyone’s favorite Italian plumber, Mario, is at the center of Nintendo’s software performance for FY25, being responsible for 21.2m sales. According to the company’s financial report, Nintendo Switch game sales reached 155.4 million across the 12-month period, featuring both first-party and third-party games. For context, this means that Mario games are responsible for 13.6% of the software sales. Mario’s most popular outing during FY25 was Super Mario Party Jamboree, with seven million units sold in just 24 weeks.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, meanwhile, is in second place, shifting 6.2 million units to give it a lifetime total of 68.2 million units, further cementing itself as the best-selling Switch game of all time.
