With over 38 million sales and counting, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the best-selling Switch title ever

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has become the best-selling Nintendo Switch title of all time with lifetime sales of 38.74 million units.

The latest numbers from Nintendo show the evergreen racer, which launched shortly after the Switch in April 2017, sold 3.34 million units over the last six months to claim the top spot.
