Posted 27 Jan 2012 at 15:09 by Aaron Clegg
Skyward Sword and Mario's 3DS entries are particularly strong performers...
As part of its earnings release, Nintendo has revealed which of its first-party titles have sold over a million copies so far in the fiscal year. There are eighteen titles on the list. Remarkably, ten of those are games which were released before the fiscal year, so we've included their lifetime sales as well.
The sales cover the first three quarters of the fiscal year - that's April 2011 through to the end of the year.
