The numbers are delicious. We are big fans of crushing all those tasty statistical cereals and spitting some interesting nuggets. Remember when I looked at the “Year in Numbers” of the industry.biz game and found out that Nintendo Switch owners were most likely to own another console? Well, we’re back with another funny find, thanks to GI.biz editor Christopher Dring.
There seem to be two things people want to do during the pandemic: driving and dancing. Since we can’t do too much of this in real life, we’re all heading to video games. Just Dance 2021 it seems to have sold almost as many copies Watch Dogs Legion, which is a surprising (and maybe disappointing?) presence for the hacking game in London.
Both games are owned by Ubisoft, though, so in any case, there’s money in your pocket – money that will go to make the next Just Dance even more danceable.
In the meantime, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Nintendo Switch version of best-selling Wii U game – sold more copies in 2020 than in 2019. In fact, it is doing better every year since its launch in 2017, according to Dring and that it even became the number one Christmas place in Germany.
That probable means that a lot of people buy Switches and consolidate their game library with the 10/10 game that I called the “ultimate Mario Kart 8 experience”, telling readers that it was an “easy choice” for Switch owners. hate.
Wait, does that mean people are listening to our advice? We will say yes.
