Working out exact numbers for any top-selling games is surprisingly difficult, especially with the rise of digital codes, bundles, and multiple platforms to purchase from. However, it’s interesting to look into what games have ended up on everyone’s letters to Santa, even if it isn’t particularly surprising.
According to the industry-tracking firm NPD, last year saw consumer spending on videogames in the US rocket up to $7.7 billion, a massive 25% rise on the previous year. While a lot of this is likely due to lockdown, the Switch played a massive part in this – with a whopping half of the 20 best selling games of December 2020 coming from Nintendo, and the Switch remaining the best-selling console for 35 out of the last 36 months since its release.
While we’re not sure if they’ll claim so many of the top spots again this year, it’s easy to see that the family-friendly console has claimed some valuable real estate beneath the Christmas tree. So let’s take a look at the best selling Switch games last Christmas, and what titles are making their climb to the top this year.
