Nintendo Releases Official Sales Data: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment Fall Short of One Million Units
Nintendo's most recent financial report, covering sales through December 31, 2025, offers an official look at the performance of its top games across the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 platforms.
While blockbuster titles continue to drive Nintendo's hardware and software success, both Metroid Prime 4: Beyond—available for Switch 1 and Switch 2—and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment were notably absent from the company's roster of million-sellers. Released during the final quarter of 2025, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond marked a major return for Samus Aran on both the well-established Nintendo Switch and the next-generation Switch 2.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, developed by Koei Tecmo in collaboration with Nintendo, serves as the latest entry in the musou-style spinoff series based on The Legend of Zelda universe. According to the officially disclosed figures, neither Metroid Prime 4: Beyond nor Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment surpassed one million units sold by the end of 2025.
It is important to note that Metroid Prime 4: Beyond was launched late in the fiscal quarter, giving it less than four weeks to achieve the sales milestone.
Furthermore, sales were split between Switch 1 and Switch 2 editions, which could have impacted the cumulative number for the title.
Internally, it is reasonable to combine the figures, but Nintendo's sales data continues to treat editions on separate platforms individually for reporting purposes. Koei Tecmo previously announced that Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment had topped one million sales as of late January 2026.
However, Nintendo's report only accounts for sales through the last day of December 2025, meaning the milestone was not reached in time for inclusion in the official financial release.
In comparison, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity—the franchise's previous installment—achieved three million units sold in its debut week, demonstrating a much stronger launch. While current, precise sales numbers for both Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment remain undisclosed, these figures highlight the challenging nature of high-profile launches in split-generation cycles and for spinoff entries.
Both games are likely to appear in future updates if their sales trajectories maintain momentum post-reporting cutoff. For further breakdowns of which Nintendo Switch 2 titles achieved over one million sales during Q3, readers can refer to our additional coverage.
Nintendo continues to provide a clear and thorough account of its financial results, offering valuable insight into the performance trends across its platforms and major releases.
