Nintendo still manages good sales numbers for their 1st party Switch games (Mario, Zelda, Animal Crossing) but you still have games like Mario 3 for the NES on the list despite the industry being so much bigger as a whole than it was in 1988.I am no expert but my guess is it’s much harder to sell a lot of one title these days because there’s so much competition out there. My Steam wishlist is full of games I would play if I had unlimited time, while in 1988 there was probably only 1 or 2 games I was interested in at any given time.</blockquote>
