Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope

The latest UK software sales chart for the week ending October 14, 2023 is now available.

An unexpected game is the top Switch title – that being Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope at #5. It wasn’t even in the top 40 last week, so a sale likely provided a boost. Red Dead Redemption just saw its physical release and debuts at #6.

Wii U sales September 2023

Mat Piscatella, executive director and video game industry analyst at Circana (NPD), relayed a little sales tidbit about the Wii U today that we couldn’t resist sharing.

The console has been phased out for years with Switch now Nintendo’s primary device since 2017. Finding a Wii U at a retailer at this point is practically impossible – and the platform wasn’t exactly popular to begin with. However, as it turns out, a single new Wii U was sold in the U.S. last month. The last time a Wii U was sold in the states was in May 2022.

The latest UK software sales chart for the week ending September 30, 2023 is now available.

EA Sports FC 24 was the biggest release over the past few days, so it comes as no surprise that it debuts at #1. The game saw the UK’s second-biggest physical launch of the year – but Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is still at the top. Also worth noting, Switch was the only platform where sales were up compared to FIFA 23, but that’s likely because EA actually put in an admirable effort on the platform this time around.
