It’s been clocking up impressive sales in all territories, and now Nintendo of America has confirmed a notable landmark for the US market.</p>
<p>In its first five days on sale Odyssey sold over 1.1 million units in the US, making it the fastest selling US launch in the Super Mario franchise – its early momentum has beaten <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/wii/new_super_mario_bros_wii"><strong>New Super Mario Bros. Wii</strong></a>, which is impressive when you think back to how hot that game was.</p>

<blockquote>
<p>The public continues to respond positively to Mario’s latest adventure. We’re also seeing sales momentum for Nintendo Switch thanks to an ever-growing catalog of games from large publishers and indie developers.</p>
