Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door topped the charts in the UK and Japan when it arrived on the Switch in May 2024, and some new data about its release in the US has now been shared.

According to Circana (formerly NPD) via industry analyst Mat Piscatella, it debuted in second place right in the “Top 20 Best-Selling Premium Games” right underneath Ghost of Tsushima and just ahead of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III (2023).

“Ghost of Tsushima generated a slightly higher consumer spending total across physical and digital game sales than did physical-only sales of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo is not a digital data sharing publisher).”
