In fact, the numbers in May were so strong, Tears of the Kingdom became the second-best-selling game of 2023. These sales reports are even more impressive when noting that Nintendo releases only physical sales, meaning that physical sales alone have outperformed all sales including digital for other games. However, it wasn’t just software that…
