  • Ghost Recon: Wildlands is the best ever Ghost Recon launch, and second best Tom Clancy launch after The Division.
  • In reference to franchises: "Zelda is the top-selling property of all time within the Adventure super genre, selling 54 percent more revenue than the next best-selling franchise, Resident Evil."
  • "Switch's packaged software sold 1.3m units, a record high for a Nintendo platform launch."
  • Mass Effect: Andromeda had the second best launch behind Mass Effect 3.
  • Horizon was the best Guerrilla debut ever, selling twice as much as their second best debut, Killzone: Shadow Fall.
  • 1-2 Switch made the top 20 best-selling games chart with an attach rate of 19 percent.
  • Starting next month, Microsoft's digital sales will be reflected in the software charts.
