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.
