Slightly unfair to say, though. Hogwarts Legacy got a multiplatform release. TOTK only released on Switch.

Counter-point for fairness, It's impressive that TOTK got that many sales on it's own while being stuck on one platform!

Either way, 2023 was a good year for gaming. Lots of fun stuff got released and I hope we can keep this trend going.

    Yeah, the idea wasn't to undermine TotK's sale numbers or show it wasn't a great game, but to celebrate another game that did really good. Even though it got a huge help from it's IP recognition, but still, it's great for the devs / studio.

    2023 was a really good year for games. And yeah, let's hope this continues, and that things are improved for devs / employees in gaming industry.
