Nintendo Has Sold 2 Million 'Super Mario Odyssey' Copies In 3 Days

In Nintendo's financial briefing, the Japanese multinational consumer electronics and video game company revealed that it has sold about two million copies of "Super Mario Odyssey" just three days after the game was released. According to Nintendo President Tatsumi Kimishima, the estimated sales of the company's newest Super Mario installment have already exceeded 2 million units. This is an impressive feat considering the 3D platform video game was released on Oct. 27. Kimishima also expects the figure to go up when the holiday season goes into full swing. "Last Friday saw the release of'Super Mario Odyssey' in Japan and in overseas markets. This newest title in the Super Mario series received many awards this year at the largest game shows in Western markets, such as E3 and gamescom, and consumers had high expectations leading to its release," Kimishima said.
