It comes as no surprise to see the big numbers for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s digital sales considering it was breaking records in the U.S. and U.K.during this period, just weeks into its release. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds put up higher numbers than expected after a quiet debut for its physical version.
Together! The Battle Cats being the third best-selling digital title was also another surprise as it released in December 20, 2018 as a digital-only title.
