Gamekyo: Switch: update of software data, including the first results of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

After the hardware, it's time for the usual software update at Nintendo, the only one of the three manufacturers to give us so many details each quarter, but it's true that eloquence often goes a long way with good results.

Because just in the top 10 of its back catalog, the company will have sold 3 million games at almost full capacity in the last quarter, to which we will add the 2.58 million of the latest addition Echoes of the Wisdomwhich will certainly not have the pretensions of its two big brothers but we are more or less at the same heights as the remake of A Link’s Awakening (around 3 million at launch).

While waiting to know the first results of Super Mario Party Jamboree et Mario & Luigi: The Brotherly Epiclet us nevertheless note that Tears of the Kingdom goes up a level (without hoping for more) while it is only a matter of time until Pokémon Ecarlate & Violet steals the show Sword & Shield to become the 2nd best-selling game in the saga (behind the original Untouchables with more than 31 million sales).
