Echoes of Wisdom

The latest UK charts data is here and, to our genuine surprise, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom sadly didn't nab the top spot this week. Instead, the newly released EA Sports FC 25 has managed to beat the competition to claim the prize.

It's an unfortunate outcome, though hardly a disastrous one. After all, these are just the boxed charts we're talking about here; chances are Nintendo managed to flog a load of copies of Echoes of Wisdom via the Switch eShop. We suspect it will also retain popularity for a good few weeks yet, especially in the run up to Christmas. In a nutshell though, this is more indicative of the insane popularity of football games in the UK than it is of Zelda's commercial performance.

Elsewhere, Epic Mickey: Rebrushed has performed reasonably well to enter the charts at number four. The Switch verion in particular has proven popular, making up 48% of the platform split. Otherwise, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Hogwarts Legacy, and Minecraft all take up their usual spots within the top ten.

Here's a look at this week's top 40 in full, with platform breakdowns for all of the titles available on other consoles alongside the Switch:
