UK Charts: EA Sports FC 24 Dominates As Mario Wonder Climbs The Ladder

Would it be possible to provide the platform splits for EA Sports FC 24, Hogwarts Legacy and Mortal Kombat 1?

But also...yeah, this is the Holiday and discount season indeed (hi, Forspoken )

For the love of Goomba, stop, buying, FIFA!

For the amount of hate Nintendo Switch Sports was given, it's doing pretty well.

I bought EA Sports FC 24 this week. Admittedly only because it had seen a decent reduction and was on my kid's Christmas list, but I'm looking forward to comparing it to FIFA (not expecting much different from the little I've seen of it, but hoping the players don't feel quite so cumbersome to change direction with etc.)

@Olliemar28 Would have expected the reportedly woeful technical performance of the Arkham Trilogy to also warrant a mention if discussing its sales performance.

I'm surprised Sonic Superstars is still there. Maybe SEGA weren't kidding about saving 90% of their advertising budget for the holiday.

Bluey is still interesting game to play. 😊

@Olliemar28 Sure, perhaps, but I know it cost them one sale... the copy I was going to buy. Doesn't everyone just do what I do?

@RadioShadow : The only "hate" I've given Switch Sports is for the fact that Nintendo released it unfinished (along with Mario Strikers), and I was quite fed up with Nintendo pulling this crap with their sports releases. I've since seen boxes in stores with golf reflected on the packaging, but I'm still not 100% confident that the final version is on the cart, so I'm biding my time just a little longer. And I'm someone who's been itching for a new Wii Sports game since the Switch's inception, so I'm especially unhappy about the fact that I'm having to wait so long.

And as for FIFA, this will be the first Switch instalment I won't be buying as there's bugger-all on the cartridge, and even at a heavy discount, I'm not looking forward to setting aside in excess of 20GB+ of my own space for each instalment if this is the standard which EA intend to set for their "physical" releases.

Paying (give or take) AU$25 for the Legacy Edition releases was an infinitely better value proposition as I got a full game for my money at least, and the asking price wasn't completely unreasonable for the revised content.

As soon as EA gives us the option to buy the games in full on 32GB cartridges, I'll be back to buying the games on day one (as I did with the non-"legacy" releases), but even at AU$20 (if it ever drops that low), I'd still be reluctant.

@gcunit : Crap performance and bugger-all on the cartridge. WB should be grateful they even managed to chart at 28. If only everyone voted with their wallets instead of rewarding companies for their greed and contempt.

Those splits look pretty good from a Nintendo perspective - better than I might have guessed.

@gcunit : I'm surprised by just how badly Xbox is being demolished by the competition, especially Sony as they are their direct competitors.

Hogwarts Legacy has sold 54% on Sony to Xbox's 10%, which is almost pitiful (pitiful would have been the Wii U, which would have sold an even lower percentage had it still been around, may it RIP).

@Sisilly_G these are physical sales charts. Most of Xbox users are mostly digital customers, especially considering most players are on the digital only Series S.
Overall PS5 is beating Xbox in a 2:1 ratio

@Carck Also a lot of people have XBOX GamePass, which really changes lists like these.

@Olliemar28 Thank you once again for your availability!

Looks like this was the week where the PS5 and the Switch versions of FC 24 were the closest in terms of sales of their respective versions.

@MarcoP90 I got EA Sports FC 24 on Switch last week. Actually rather impressed with it. 👍

@Olliemar28 Even MK1 ahead of Xbox on Switch... FC24 28% split is very good.

@RadioShadow

For the love of Goodness stop buying such a bare bones game as Switch Sports!

Not being serious but the likes of EAFC selling well on Switch is good for Nintendo fans.

@Olliemar28

That bodes well for third party support on Switch 2.
