The Top 3 Games Sold On Amazon In 2017 Were All On The Nintendo Switch

The top 3 bestselling games on Amazon for 2017 were all Nintendo titles, which just goes to show how much of a turnaround the Japanese gaming company has made with the Switch after the Wii U flopped.

According to Amazon, the bestselling game of 2017 on their marketplace was Super Mario Odysseyfollowed by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart 8 DeluxePretty wild considering the fact this edition of Mario Kart is a re-release of a game originally dropped on the Wii U back in 2014.

Here are the top 10 games on Amazon for 2017:

  1. Super Mario Odyssey
  2. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
  3. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch)
  4. Horizon Zero Dawn
  5. Call of Duty: WWII (PS4)
  6. Call of Duty: WWII (Xbox One)
  7. Splatoon 2
  8. Pokémon Ultra Sun
  9. Pokémon Ultra Moon
  10. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Wii U)

Now, if you include all video game consoles accessories in the list, it ends up looking a little different – with $10 and $20 PlayStation Store credit taking the top two spots. Considering the fact that many people no longer purchase physical copies of games, this changes things somewhat – though you can also purchase Switch games digitally too.

But the Switch was also the number one console on Amazon for 2017, hitting #8 on the list of gaming purchases. Here’s the top ten including accessories and consoles:

  1. $20 PlayStation Store gift card
  2. $10 PlayStation Store gift card
  3. Super Mario Odyssey
  4. 1-year Playstation Plus membership
  5. $50 PlayStation Store gift card
  6. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
  7. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch)
  8. Nintendo Switch (Gray Joy-Cons)
  9. DualShock 4 wireless controller
  10. Xbox One wireless controller

Let’s see if Nintendo can keep it up going through 2018.
