Sales of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate are continuing to flourish, even after it became the fastest-selling Super Smash Bros. game and the fastest-selling Nintendo Switch game to date. Meanwhile, Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu and Let’s Go Eevee have failed to appear in the top 10 in the latest UK charts. Read on below to learn more about recent game sales in the UK from the folks at GamesIndustry.biz:
Nintendo’s latest Switch release took the (super) crown in the UK Charts this week, with New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe debuting at No.1. The game — a port of both the Wii U launch title and it’s Luigi-centric expansion — is only the fourth Switch title to top the charts, following Super Smash Bros Ultimate just before Christmas, Mario Tennis Aces last summer and a two-week stint at No.1 for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe back in April 2017. Mario’s return, plus a 52% sales drop week-on-week, knocks last week’s No.1 — FIFA 19 — down to No.2. Red Dead Redemption 2 also suffered a similar drop in sales, down 53%, slipping to No.3. Beyond that, there is little movement in the Top 10. Nintendo holds three positions, with Smash Bros and Mario Kart at No.5 and No.6 respectively.
Here is the UKIE/GfK Top Ten for the week ending January 12th:
| Last Week | This Week | Title |
|---|---|---|
| NEW | 1 | New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe |
