Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
The latest UK software sales chart for the week ending September 28, 2024 is now available, and it includes the debut for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.
The Switch exclusive came in at #2 for its first appearance – and remember, Nintendo does not report digital sales. Compared to the Zelda: Link’s Awakening remake, sales were 14 percent lower. Again, this is strictly based on physical sales.
Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom wasn’t the only new game on the UK sales char this week. Unsurprisingly, EA Sports FC 25 comes in at #2. Epic Mickey: Rebrushed also seemingly did well, appearing at #4 (platform breakdown was Switch at 48 percent, PS5 at 43 percent, Xbox at 8 percent, and PC at 1 percent).
Here’s the full UK software sales chart for the week ending September 28, 2024:

However, the team now intends to use extra development time to implement rollback netcode.
