![Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope](https://images.nintendolife.com/071ac19a27449/mario-plus-rabbids-sparks-of-hope.900x.jpg)
This week's physical gaming charts for the UK are now in and despite some tasty Amazon Prime Day discounts mixing things up a little, nothing has managed to knock EA Sports FC 24 off the top spot.
The latest not-FIFA title sees its third week in first place (the Switch still only accounts for a small 7% of its total sales) followed by Assassin's Creed Mirage and a surprise resurgence from Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Speaking of surprises, the biggest Switch-only game this week is Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, which has managed to hop its way back into fifth place on the charts after benefitting from a hefty Amazon discount for Prime Day — nice!
This week also sees The Grinch: Christmas Adventures debut in the top ten, landing in eighth position with 68% of game sales coming from Switch — perhaps 'tis the season, after all. And what of last week's bronze medalist, Detective Pikachu Returns? Well, our little coffee-obsessed PI(kachu) has taken a rather substantial tumble this time, now sitting in 22nd.
So, let's crack on with it, shall we? Here's your look at this week's top 40 in full.

Finally the physical version of Red Dead Redemption is here.
I got Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope the other week as was reduced on the Eshop.
I ejoyed the first game and the next installment looks even better in my opinion.
Nice to see the first Pokemon in 39 only!
What is the split for Red Dead Redemption I wonder?
Next week I predict:
1. Spiderman 2
2. Mario Wonder
3. EA FC
4. Sonic Superstars
5. MK8D
The Grinch: Christmas Adventures on number 8 with just 2D platformer gameplay ?? 😯
@SBandy1 I hope Mario Wonder beats Spider-Man, but I think you’ve got an accurate list there.
Looking at this list, I’m feeling tempted to get Detective Pikachu. I want to support the continuation of the creation of oddball games.
Ah yes, the Amazon deal that didn't quite make it onto the NL article, and it turns out to be a hot one.
@SBandy1
I'd swap 1 and 2.
@SBandy1 you must be right, spider man deserves first place.
@SBandy1 I'd swap 1 and 2. Switch has a much bigger install base, and sells more games physically than Sony does. Will be close I reckon.
Nor that I'm bothered as I'll be getting both. Their both going to be great games.
@SBandy1 Yes, sounds about right. It will be the Switches 7th Christmas so I expect Mario Wonders sales to be a little lower than say a couple of years back... This should ensure Spidy pips it to number 1.
Can I say something general: Sometimes your headlines are borderline illegible due to the capitalization of all words. Lack of quotation marks too, perhaps.
Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope Hops Into Top Ten As EA Sports FC Keeps A Clean Sheet
is one such example 😵💫
@Serialsid
Looking at Amazon UK, Spider-Man should be ahead of Mario at retail launch.
@Serialsid
PS5 already has a massive userbase in UK as well.
I am going for Spiderman 2 because exclusives for Sony have been thin on the ground this year and Spiderman 2 has been hyped for years. Super Mario Wonder was only announced a few months back (delightfully so).
I wouldn't be too surprised if Wonder gets no.1 but I think Spiderman 2 is going to sell like gangbusters, like proper TotK style numbers.
I do expect Wonder to have the better overall legs but for launch week, Spidey 2.
PSA: Prime Day deals don't exist in an all digital future...(probably)
@SBandy1 yeah I know the ps5 install is big in the UK, but switch has sold extremely well here from the start. Wouldn't be surprised if it has twice the install base after 3 extra years on sale, plus how hard it was to buy aps5 for the first 2 years.
I know spiderman is big, but mario is arguably the biggest character in gaming. And people love 2d Mario games!
Will be interesting to see, I'm just looking forward to playing both.
@Serialsid
Don't get me wrong, there is a very good chance Super Mario Wonder will be my game of the year (and beyond). I love me a 2D Mario title!
Just get the feeling Spidey 2 takes top spot next week. Both titles will sell like hot cakes regardless.
@westman98 @Serialsid @SBandy1 Really interesting that, so I went looking on Amazon UK and indeed Spiderman ranks #2 and SMB Wonder #4. Good for both!
I don't have a PS5 so I'm cheering for Wonder.
@gcunit man, your comment cracked me up.
@Yalloo
Yeah predicting next weeks chart is just a bit of fun.
Main thing is two potentially great games ( three actually with Sonic) are launching in the next few days and it is great for gamers.
I cannot wait for Wonder, been a long time since the last 2D Mario.
I wish Sparks of Hope was doing that well because of Rayman lol, but it's nice to see it selling well.
@SBandy1 I can tell you exactly what the split for RDR is
It's remarkably close - 54% on PS4 and 46% on Switch.
@Olliemar28
Cheers for replying.
That is much closer than I thought it would be! Hopefully Rockstar are paying attention.
Picked up my physical Red Dead last night
I had to go find out what the Amazon deal was. Amazon UK had the Cosmic Edition at £19.99
@EaglyBird "trust me that Both Nintendo and Sony are winning next week" 🤫 🤣
Nice to see Sparks of Hope and Red Dead Redemption in the top 10!
Yeah, next week Spiderman 2 and Wonder will most certainly take the first two spots, not sure in which order as it could go both ways... in the UK, in Japan Wonder will be on top for sure and not even sure where Spiderman will be there as much as I wish it the best despite not even having a PS5 to play it myself because it looks like it will be a really good game!
