Latest UK Charts reveal Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is the fastest-selling Super Smash Bros. game and the fastest-selling Nintendo Switch game to date

Sales of Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu and Let’s Go Eevee are continuing to flourish across multiple territories, including in the UK. In addition, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has already become the fastest-selling Super Smash Bros. game and the fastest-selling Nintendo Switch game to date. Read on below to learn more about recent game sales in the UK from the folks at GamesIndustry.biz:

Super Smash Bros Ultimate breaks franchise records to become this week’s No.1 UK boxed game.

It is the fastest-selling Nintendo Switch game released so far, eclipsing the combined launch sales of Pokémon: Let’s Go Pikachu and Pokémon: Let’s Go Eevee.

The game’s launch sales are 302 per cent higher than the numbers achieved by Super Smash Bros for Wii U and they’re 233 per cent higher than Super Smash Bros for 3DS. Launch sales are also 62.5 per cent higher than the Wii game Super Smash Bros Brawl. All of which means Ultimate is the fastest-selling Smash Bros game in the franchise’s UK history.

It’s worth noting that the sales only include physical numbers, so digital downloads of Ultimate have not been counted.

Over Black Friday, Cyber Monday and the launch of Smash Bros, around 200,000 Switch consoles have been sold in the UK – retailers have told us.

The arrival of Smash Bros means that FIFA 19 loses its No.1 spot, and actually falls two spaces to No.3. Red Dead Redemption 2 holds firm at No.2 for a second consecutive week.
