Thanks to GamesIndustry, we have new insight into the UK gaming market for October 2024.
Nintendo has one game in the top ten this month, which is Super Mario Party Jamboree at #9. Also, remember that this is without the company reporting digital data, which means it could have charted higher. Something to note is that sales were up 11 percent over 2018’s Super Mario Party but 4 percent down over 2021’s Mario Party Superstars (based on first two weeks of sales).
Elsewhere, Sonic x Shadow Generations comes in at #10 for a new release. Launch sales were up 150 percent compared to Sonic Superstars, but down 21 percent over the launch of 2022’s Sonic Frontiers.
Nintendo Switch hardware sales did see a 13 percent bump month-on-month. However, they’re down 18 percent year-on-year.
