Half of All Switch Owners Bought Zelda, Mario, Mario Kart
Half of all Switch owners purchased Nintendo’s three biggest games, according to Nintendo of America president and COO Reggie Fils-Aime.
Speaking to IGN about Switch’s success following The Game Awards last week, Fils-Aime said the attach rate for Super Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe represents a record in the United States.
“Those three games continue to attach to hardware at better than 50 percent,” Fils-Aime told IGN. “Just think about that. For everyone who owns a system, more than one out of every two have bought Zelda, more than one out of every two have bought Kart, more than one out of every two have bought Odyssey. That's never happened in U.S. video game history.”

Update: Today Sonic's most important look yet was revealed. The upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog movie's titular character received a full redesign based on fan criticism of the initial design. We've added these designs to our gallery of every Sonic appearance ever below.
Until Sonic the Hedgehog debuted on the SEGA Genesis, a fat plumber somewhat inexplicably served as the game industry's most recognizable icon. All of that changed when gamers saw SEGA's blue blur careening off springs, zipping through loops and wagging his finger disapprovingly at people still playing "baby games" on Super Nintendo.
Metro Exodus Has Gone Gold, Will Release One Week Early

Instead, its competition will be Crackdown 3 on Xbox One, as well as Far Cry New Dawn. The latter game was just announced at The Game Awards, and also features a nuclear post-apocalyptic setting, albeit in Montana instead of Moscow.
