Nintendo's Bold Move: eShop Charts Now Driven by Revenue, Not Units Sold!

Nintendo has revamped the method for compiling its eShop charts, ushering in a new era for how best-selling games are determined. In a shift from the past, where the number of copies sold over a mere 48 hours dictated the rankings, the company has now set its sights on revenue accrued over the last 72 hours. This strategic change seems aimed at decluttering the top ten from low-quality shovelware that has been polluting the lists. However, this update raises concerns that some beloved indie gems might get sidelined in this new ranking system.
