This week\u2019s UK physical sales were heavily influenced by Black Friday, but the numbers listed here do not include digital sales. Physical sales dropped 15% from last year, which in turn was 10% down from 2020. Discounts and special bundle deals on different games resulted in a shakeup of the entire Top 10 chart compared to previous weeks.
Despite growing fan resentment against Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, both games only dropped 64% from the launch week sales, which is less than the 72% drop-off experienced by Pokemon Legend: Arceus. An interesting development is that Violet has been consistently outselling Scarlet. <\/p>\n
Black Friday Sales had the greatest impact on UK physical sales with this week\u2019s Switch titles, for example, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, made it up to 5th place with a 226% sales increase. Nintendo Switch Sports, in 8th place, had a 138% increase in sales while Animal Crossing: New Horizons, 10th place, gained 85% in total sales. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild saw the largest jump, selling 426% compared to last week, boosted by discounts and bundle deals. <\/p>\n
The kid-focused LEGO titles, LEGO Harry Potter, up 174% to number 12, and LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, at number 13, also enjoyed substantially increased UK physical sales over Black Friday. <\/p>\n
Two new games from last week made it into the Top 40, Just Dance 2023 Edition and Evil West. Ubisoft\u2019s latest dance title had over 173% sales compared to last year\u2019s title, with 83% of those sales coming on the Switch. Focus Home Interactive\u2019s Evil West debuted in 21st place. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
