Most? All! Nobody has access to Nintendo's digital sales.

Best to just compare the games to others in the franchise.

Installbase means nothing for exclusives when it's over 40 million units. Smash Ultimate sold 14 million units on 40 million units of Switch, and Mario Odyssey sold 9 million on 15 million installbase.
Happy to see it succeed. As someone who dislikes 3D Mario (with the exception of 3D World), a new 2D Mario like this has been very welcome. I'm having a blast with it in 3 player local multiplayer with my nephew and niece. My niece is terrible at it, but it's been hilarious regardless. I hope this means Super Mario Bros. Wonder 2 will be with us in the next few years, and not at the end of the Switch 2 life cycle.

People keep saying this but its simply not true. Install base does matter for mass appeal games.

These are hugely different titles.
Pouring one out for poor Superstars. ( ._.)
They are mass appeal games which is what Tbone was replying to.

yeh but certain sources like CESA have digital figures right? that's what I was referring to as the exception
CESA has access to overall shipment figures from Nintendo but not Nintendo's digital sales specifically.

oh right technically that does include digital sales, seemed they usually have sales not found anywhere else so I thought they actually had some digital sales without revealing them
They got the same number as everyone else, even you and I, since overall shipment figures from Nintendo are public information.
Not exactly, they also get info about games that did not sell more than 1M in the fiscal year and are not reported in their financials, but everything else is right, they don’t have access to actual digital splits just the total shipments.

Just got back from a visit to Target where I bought a copy of Mario Wonder for my wife for Christmas. I was there on a Friday at about 2:30. The cabinet was only 1/8 full of copies. The associate said since Black Friday, they‘ve been getting copies delivered every day and sold them all by the end of the day. Something is happening.
The usual disclaimer is that this being anecdotal and one location of a national retailer in the middle of Washington, DC, a top ten U.S. market, and also conveniently located on top of a Metro station,
