“Super Mario-related titles also tend to sell consistently over a long period of time,” Nintendo said. “We anticipate this title will be an appealing choice for consumers during the upcoming holiday season and will continue to sell next year onwards as well.”
As far as why the numbers were so high, Nintendo says that it believes a couple of factors contributed to the success.
“This title provides surprising new 2D Mario experiences, and we believe that this, in conjunction with global excitement from The Super Mario Bros. Movie, resulted in the large sales volume,” the company said.
