Pokemon Scarlet & Violet surpass expectations as wellJust today we touched base (https://www.destructoid.com/nintendo-updates-its-switch-best-seller-list-as-pokemon-scarlet-violet-sell-heaps/) with Nintendo to see how their top 10 all-time best-seller list for Switch was doing, and Pokemon Scarlet & Violet kind of smashed the windows on the way in. It turns out a few other games are doing well, too!
Nintendo reports (https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2023/230207_4e.pdf) that Splatoon 3 (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-splatoon-3-switch/) has sold 10.13 million units since its September 2022 launch, firmly placing it just outside of the top 10 list, somewhat in reach of Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee's 15.07 million. It just needs to best two more games (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_Nintendo_Switch_video_games) to catch up to Splatoon 2, and four more games to crack the top 10. Given how Splatoon games typically have decent tails, it should at least climb a few more spots before it settles in.
In the wide world of digital recreational activity, Nintendo Switch Sports commanded a respectable 8.61 million units, putting it directly in the top 20 all-time best-selling Switch game list. This kind of came out of nowhere for me, as I hardly ever hear about it in passing, but there's likely enough nostalgia there for the original Nintendo-branded "Sports" series that you just don't ponder on a regular basis.
Big picture, Nintendo now has 27 games that are million-sellers; with Pokemon Scarlet/Violet, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Mario Strikers: Battle League, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, and Pokemon Legends: Arceus joining those ranks in 2022.
