Nintendo has released its activity statistics from October 1, 2024 – December 31, 2024, according to which Super Mario Party Jamboree sold 6.17 million copies since its release on October 17, 2024, becoming the best-selling game of the financial quarter. Furthermore, the game set a new record in the Mario Party series, becoming its fastest-selling release, surpassing Super Mario Party (2018).

Reaching this milestone in just 10 weeks has already allowed Jamboree to take fifth place among the best-selling games in the Mario Party series in history. Ahead are only Mario Party 8, Mario Party DS, Mario Party Superstars, and Super Mario Party. Whether Jamboree will be able to approach the total sales of Super Mario Party at 21.10 million copies is still unknown, however, the strong start indicates significant potential for the game in the long term.

The Mario Party series remains one of Nintendo's key franchises since its debut on the Nintendo 64, and the success of Jamboree indicates a new peak in its popularity. This is particularly important for the Nintendo Switch, which, although surpassing the mark of 150 million consoles sold, has faced a slowdown in sales pace. Hence, Nintendo has lowered its annual console sales forecast from 12.5 million to 11 million units.

Besides Super Mario Party Jamboree, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe performed well in the financial quarter, with 5.38 million copies sold. However, it's worth noting that holiday console bundles, in which Mario Kart is often included, also impacted the overall software sales level.

With the record start of Super Mario Party Jamboree, it will become clear in the coming months whether it can climb even higher on the list of the most successful games in the series. Nevertheless, it is already another major success for Nintendo's iconic entertainment franchise.
