With the sale of more than five million copies in Japan alone, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has already accomplished an important milestone. This places it far behind other recent Switch games like Splatoon 3 and Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, despite the fact that it is a new feat. But ultimately, the game has sold close to 50 million copies globally, which is a significant achievement. The fact that its sales figures are rising is probably attributable to both the surge of gamers purchasing the Switch for the first time and the arrival of fresh game content.
