The final full week of 2024 has been and gone, and by the time you're reading this, it might even be 2025 where you are — hello from the past!
Anyway, in the UK, we've got the final full 2024 results for the boxed charts, and it's another solid and predictable week for... well, everyone. While the top ten isn't as healthy as it was last week for Switch games, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has managed to hold firm in fourth, alongside Super Mario Party Jamboree in fifth.
Nintendo Switch Sports has had to fall back one spot to make way for Elden Ring, which roars back into the charts after a few weeks off — we're sure that made a fair few Christmas presents, or perhaps some Boxing Day pick-ups. And Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Minecraft, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons have slipped out of the top ten, casualties of Cyberpunk 2077 and Grand Theft Auto V returning.
But Sega's hedgehog duo, Sonic X Shadow Generations, has managed to crack back into the top ten this week — likely as a result of the movie, which launched on 20th December, right before last week's charts closed. Plus, it sold more copies on Switch than any other platform again.
That's enough of that, though — here's a look at the full top 40 for the final week of 2024, with platform breakdowns for all of the titles available on other consoles as well as the Switch:

Elden Ring showing up again is cool.
To say that Nintendo doesn't disclose digital sales, that's bloody impressive!
Sad to see Echoes of Wisdom falling to the bottom already.
So good to see Astro among all the evergreens, its success is like a little cozy pillow for my heart
Coming from the Wii U, it's a bit surreal how the Switch and its software are doing so well even just a few weeks before its successor is announced. I really hope the Switch 2 is alos a huge success.
Can totally imagine why MK11 is selling better than 1
BLUEY is on number 33. 😊
@Jiggies Incredibly strong third party Switch games sales too. As you say it's a very different situation from the Wii U.
@Princess_Lilly It's evergreen cause sadly Sony literally offers nothing else like it.
@GrailUK I don’t think any of the UK charts includes digital sales, for any publisher. So it’s just physical sales only, and all entries are like for like in that regard.
@GravyThief Really? I thought UK included digital too. (Apart from Nintendo and I believe physical from the UK Nintendo store.) Might be wrong of course. I usually am. Happy New Year everyone.
@FishyS
Yep saw that Echos dropped way down.
I just today got it digitally.
Really great game so far.
@GrailUK No, these charts don't include digital sales.
The thing that amazes me is that there are still humans that don’t own Mario Kart 8 at this point lol. Vast numbers of them based on how many copies of this are still selling! I mean it’s cool, that’s a great game. It’s just so old, it baffles the mind that it’s still near or at the top every month!
@Kiyata A child born in 2017 is now around 8 years old...asking mum and dad for a Switch. Aand it's probably bundled with it. A child born in 2018 is going to be asking Santa for one next year. And so on and so forth. Nintendo basically have a unique place in the market.
And thus is the last UK chart rank for 2024… another great year for Nintendo! And, of course, 2025 could be one of their best yet thanks to the upcoming new hardware… please release in 2025, next Nintendo console, whatever you are.
The reason for remakes after the wii u collapse. Mario Kart 8 on wii u about 8 million in sales, mario kart 8 deluxe switch 65 million sales. Also I don't mind remakes, I mean Zelda 2 and Metroid Fusion are still on my wait list.
Funny that the top 5 is identical to last week's, but after that there are some new entries most likely due to sales!
Happy in particular to see Hogwarts Legacy in 2nd and selling the best on Switch, 8 Deluxe in 4th, Jamboree in 5th, Switch Sports in 7th - played it for the first time together with my friends last night -, Generations in 10th and selling the best on Switch, Wonder in 11th, New Horizons in 14th and last (also to not make this comment even longer) but certainly not least Astro Bot in 19th!
I think all these third party games sells much more on PC (Steam) than any console. Hogwart Legacy sells much more on PC.
@Dee123 oh, I meant that the other titles are evergreens, like Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, GTAV, Just Dance, or The Witcher 3.
But yeah, that's sadly totally true. Sony offers very little for quite some time now. They had all the franchises they needed to take over the lead, but they squandered all of them. Patapon, LocoRoco, Crash, Spyro, Wipeout, all of it gone. The last one is Tekken but it's not really up to par with T1 - 6
