uk software sales may 15 2022

Original (5/15): This week’s UK software sales are in, with Nintendo Switch Sports again topping the chart for a third week in a row.

The title actually saw a 54 percent dip week-on-week. However, due to the lack of major releases as of late, it’s been able to stay #1. It’s thought that Nintendo Switch Sports could remain in the top five for the foreseeable future.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is also still selling as it’s in the second spot. The game has stayed in the top two for six weeks.
