The site further adds that Nintendo accounted for almost a third (32.5 percent) of all physical games sold in the UK last month. Switch titles from all publishers made up 49.6 percent of the market. Even though it was only available for two days of the reporting period, New Pokemon Snap was the best-selling game.
