Also, Mario Kart 8 is arguably the highest selling game ever for Nintendo depending on how you look at the sales of Super Mario Bros. The only game Nintendo considers to be its other highest seller is Wii Sports which is a pretty farcicle crown to give given its real sales were effectively zero.

It's been lowkey but Biomutant has proven a hit selling over 1m copies and very quickly shifting into profit.
People Can Fly, the developer behind 'Outriders', has not yet made a profit on the game according to an investor note.
Meanwhile Outriders situation is starting to look troubled. Despite the buzz around its initial player figures, PS sales and launch on Game Pass Square has yet to pay People Can Fly for their work. The pay rests on the game earning beyond Square's own expenses on the game, as yet PCF have received no data or money leaning thoughts toward the game having failed to perform well enough. The player count on Steam has tailed off heavily meaning much will rest on how it's performed on Game Pass.
