After a brief delay, we now have our first look at the UK boxed charts and things are looking pretty unsurprising up top.
EA Sports FC 24 has managed to score first place for the fourth week in a row, with Switch accounting for 25% of the game's sales (PS5 takes 34%, PS4 has 21% and Xbox Series picks up the remaining 20%). Hogwarts Legacy lands in second, pushing Super Mario Bros. Wonder down into the bronze position once again.
Elsewhere, things are very much as you would expect to find them. The top ten remains relatively unchanged (bar the surprise appearance from Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate at eighth), with the regular Switch titles in the running. What is nice to see, however, is Super Mario RPG climb back into the top 20, with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom also seeing a bump in popularity.
Here's your look at this week's top 40 in full:

I feel like that Nintendo percentage should prompt EA to put more sports games on switch. They obviously have an audience.
The big share increase for the Switch version of FC 24 tells me the week before this one was possibly plagued by some supply issues. Also ehi, Super Mario RPG returns in Top 20, nice!
Moreover (as usual ) can I ask for the platform splits for Hogwarts Legacy, Sonic Superstars and NBA 2K24?
The fact that Super Mario RPG got back into the top 20 is impressive. I guess more are starting to get into the game.
Super Mario over MW3, even without digital sales accounted for Nintendo games: This restores my faith in humanity.
@Serpenterror Mario games always have staying power though. Shouldnt be shock to still see Wonder in top 10 in most regions through early 2024 aswell
@Max_the_German
This is a retail-only chart for all games, not just Nintendo titles.
@Max_the_German dont restore your faith in humanity. It wont ever last.
@Ryu_Niiyama I think they will be there day one with Switch 2.
@Ryu_Niiyama I agree - especially now that EA was finally able to get Frostbite ported to the Switch.
Hopefully the Switch 2 SDK and architecture is similar to current Switch so that all the work done to get Frostbite on Switch can "easily" translate to a Switch 2 and we aren't back to "Square One" with EA and Nintendo support.
Curious what the Hogwarts split is. Imagine WB have done very well with the Switch version.
Regardless of views on EAFC, it bodes well for third party support on the Switch successor.
Mario Wonder is killing it.
I'm not sure how representative are boxed charts anymore. How much of total market share it is? I'm sure Xbox is selling more FIFA than Switch on digital format.
@GamingFan4Lyf @GrailUK Let's hope so!
@dimi I hear lots of sales charts and reports aren’t the most reliable. Since I don’t work in retail, I have no opinion. I just presented somebody else’s is all.
I still find it a little bizarre that digital bundle console sales count in these physical charts, as is the case with Switch Sports this week, but here we are.
Interesting to see Sparks of Hope still bouncing around the charts. I really hope it can sell well in the long-term.
