UK Charts: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Makes A Solid Debut On Switch 2

...and Mortal Kombat 1 is nowhere to be seen, despite its heavy discounts.

I wonder how the Yoshi positioning is relative to the performance of other Yoshu games. not having anything close to the longevity of DK Bananza. I guess probably par for course, with current Yoshi games really being for young children

No Indiana Jones? Weird.

@SirLink Physical copies are getting difficult to get hold of here in Sweden now

Resident Evil Requiem at 37% Switch 2 is pretty interesting

Also I'm surprised Nintendolife isn't reporting on the Mario Galaxy Movie passing $1billion at the box office.

More than just "solid" given the Switch has only just passed 1m in the UK and also with the fact this is a port of a game released 2 years ago on Playstation (the dominant platform in the UK).

Strong precedent for third parties succeeding on Nintendo

37% split for RE Requiem is impressive. Looks like the 3rd party support is indeed being rewarded on Switch 2.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is slipping. Are we finally nearing the point where everyone who wants that game owns it?

Probably not.

Platform split for Mortal Kombat is 109%, just sayin!

@Dr_Lugae it just kept creeping along to that billion mark, highest grossing movie of the year. Well until Toy Story 5 comes out. Also nice to see Project Hail Mary so high. On the games list it still amazes me that mario kart can be on the lost for years on end.

Rebirth also did not get a physical release on Xbox, which is why it has no sales here.

RE Requiem had a decent number of Switch 2 sales, too.

Well deserved. For me rebirth was one of those miracles i did not expect. This game is a heavy hitter and is proof that with some love any game can make the jump.

I can understand 100% of Final Fantasy Rebirth sales being on Switch 2 this week, but surely 47% of Mortal Kombat sales aren't from the PS4?

@Coversnail Didn't FF7 Rebirth release on Xbox to?

@datamonkey is it? I'm seeing 53% + 47%.

@Markatron84 It has since been fixed. I think Xbox had additional 9% but it's now 0%.

Game key card complaints are a storm in a teacup. Outside of I think a single game, none have crashed in price

For anyone who questioned why Nintendo would just rerelease Mario kart 8 on the original switch and not make a switch specific version of the game, look at that beast still in the charts almost a decade later.

They knew that game could have been massive but that the wiiu was basically an anchor around it's neck, great to still see it selling, we still dip into it's tracks every few weeks for 4 player sessions, wish it gets a switch 2 patch to allow 60fps in 4 player split.

@illmatic20xx It did, but there isn't a physical edition available for Xbox, and this chart is only for physical sales.

@Markatron84 you're right, it's been edited, Xbox was showing 9%.

All is well in the world 😂

Anyone have an idea why Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is back in the top 10 this week?

Happy to see FF7Rebirth at #4. I just got my copy earlier today, and downloading it right now! I think I can now finish this game that I didn't accomplish on my PS5.

Pragmata doing well on SW2 considering install base in the UK. Good to see a number of games doing well on the platform.

@Duncanballs yeah, I agree. And RE9 Requiem too, 37% is quite high in my opinion.

Rebirth is a big seller on the Switch 2, and it's gonna help Square achieve better results. Keep it up Nintendo fans.
