With Nintendo having shared its financial reports for Q3, therefore covering the first nine months of the financial year, we can get an idea of the year's notable successes, especially as these sales figures cover the all-important Holiday period.

Overall Nintendo can point to nine of its games that have sold over one million copies worldwide between 1st April and 31st December 2015. Five are on 3DS and four on Wii U, and unsurprisingly there are some fresh releases alongside some old stagers.

Let's break it down - bear in mind that Nintendo has evidently provided heavily rounded estimates, based on some discrepancies in the figures.

3DS Million Sellers

Wii U Million Sellers

Splatoon - 4.06 million sales (1.37 million in Japan, 2.7 million overseas)

- 4.06 million sales (1.37 million in Japan, 2.7 million overseas) Super Mario Maker - 3.34 million sales (880,000 in Japan, 2.46 million overseas)

- 3.34 million sales (880,000 in Japan, 2.46 million overseas) Mario Kart 8 - 2.13 million sales (210,000 in Japan, 1.91 million overseas) - lifetime sales of 7.24 million

- 2.13 million sales (210,000 in Japan, 1.91 million overseas) - lifetime sales of 7.24 million Yoshi's Woolly World - 1.31 million sales (130,000 in Japan, 1.19 million overseas)

We're a little surprised at just how evergreen some titles are, though the likes of Mario Kart 7 likely benefit from bundles, too. A pleasing inclusion is Yoshi's Woolly World, which has done well enough in the West to offset limited numbers in Japan. It's also notable that these numbers reflect the poor overall figures for 3DS software sales, with the top-selling games on the portable not matching the numbers of their highest-selling Wii U equivalents despite having a far larger install base.

As for Splatoon, well, we know how popular that is; it's been a significant success for Nintendo.
