Newsbrief: Super Mario Party has sold-though over 1.5 million copies since launching on October 5. 

The news comes via Nintendo's latest financial briefing, where the company also revealed it's seen an increase in Joy-Con sell-though following the game's release. 

Nintendo believes the party game, which is designed to bring players together in a local multiplayer setting, could drive hardware sales as we enter the holiday season, as people might get the urge to buy the title along with a Switch so they can get together and play.
