Analyst: Nintendo dominated Amazon in August

A few years back, Amazon and Nintendo wouldn’t even work together. It was a lot of behind-the-scenes drama, but basically Amazon wanted a better deal on 3DS systems. The squabble resulted in Amazon refusing to sell the 3DS and then Nintendo refused to sell anything to Amazon. The two companies have since worked out their issues, and now Nintendo is dominating Amazon’s video game category, according to a Thinknum analysis.

In August, the publisher had six of the top 10 best-selling games on Amazon with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate coming in No. 1 overall for software. Other highlights for Nintendo include a launch game that continues to sell and a big September release that is already charting thanks to preorders.
