Best-selling games of 2022 in the UK, Switch was the best-selling console

New data has been published that reveals the best-selling games in the UK for 2022, and we also know that Switch was the best-selling console of the year.

Nintendo only has one game in the top ten (physical and digital combined) – that being Nintendo Switch Sports. However, had the sales of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet been combined, they would have appeared higher. The new Pokemon titles did see a 36 percent increase over Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Also keep in mind that Nintendo does not report digital data, which limits how high the company’s games chart.

We only have the top twenty sellers for the physical and digital chart. It’s worth noting though that Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope came in at #62 while Mario Strikers: Battle League appeared at #80.

Moving on to hardware, we’ll reiterate that Switch was the most popular console in the UK for 2022 despite a 27.5 percent drop year-over-year. Interestingly, only 60,000 units separated Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S and X.

Here’s a look at the best-selling games of 2022 in the UK:
