Turns out comedy is exactly what folks need right now—NPD Group released its chart of the USA’s highest selling video games for July 2020, and Paper Mario: The Origami King debuted at third on the all-formats chart.
This position puts it ahead of all previous Paper Mario titles for the same period of time, according to Mat Piscatella of NPD, who stated the game “set a new launch month sales record for a Paper Mario title, with physical launch month dollar sales more than doubling those of Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door.”
Overall, the PS4’s Ghost of Tsushima took top spot while Call of Duty: Modern Warfare took second. Animal Crossing: New Horizons was fifth on the list.
In fact, five of the top ten spaces were taken by Nintendo’s first-party titles, though it’s worth noting that eShop digital titles aren’t considered for this list.
