SSBU (Switch)
The first game on the Amazon best selling list is Super Smash Bros Ultimate, the sixth entry into the franchise. The game has been selling well for months, and this is due in part to its wide range of appeal. The game is a fighting game based around many of Nintendo's (as well as other third party companies as guest fighters) IPs. The game appeals to many people both young and old because it gives them a chance to play as their favourite characters. There is also a lot of representation throughout all of the characters, and many groups are represented. Being a fighting game, there is also a large competitive scene, and this also leads in a lot of popularity. Furthermore, there is also a fun casual scene, making the game accessible for families. The game is rated 12, although this doesn't stop a younger audience from playing it (This has a lot to do with the regulation theory of Sonia Livingstone and Peter Hunt). The game is developed by Nintendo primarily, as it is one of their first party IPs, but it is also produced by Sora Ltd. Bandai Namco Entertainment and Studios.

Super Mario Party (Switch)
Super Mario Party is second on the top selling list, as with the release of Smash Ultimate many people have been buying a Switch primarily to play it, many people also buy Super Mario Party, as like Ultimate, it is a fun party game, though this game doesn't contain a competitive scene. The game is primarily a family or party game, it is rated 'E For Everyone' on the PEGI rating scale, and this means that it is accessible to a wide range of people. The game features many of Nintendo's primary mascots, such as Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser and so on. The game is a casual mini-game themed party game, and is supposed to be played casually. This game was also developed by Nintendo, as they develop their own games.

Red Dead Redemption (PS4)
Red Dead Redemption is a mature, 18+ game, it is based around the wild west. The game actually has a lot of representation, with most groups being represented through the forms of NPC throughout the game.
