Super Mario Wonder remained at the top of the UK boxed charts for a third week, keeping EA Sports FC 24 at No.2.

The football title rose one spot as Spider-Man 2 fell to No.3 after a 40% decline in sales week-on-week, according to GfK data.

Meanwhile, Animal Crossing: New Horizons took the No.10 spot following a 34% rise in sales.

There was only one new release in the Top Ten this week, with Robocop: Rogue City debuting at No.4.

A few more new titles debuted in the Top 20, including WarioWare: Move It, Star Ocean: The Second Story R, and EA Sports WRC.

Elsewhere, Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol 1 dropped from its No.4 debut last week down to No.30 after a 85% decrease in sales. Sonic Superstars also moved further down the charts three weeks after release, falling from No.15 last week to No.26.

Finally, more titles experienced price promotions in the retail charts this week. Lego 2K Drive saw a 147% increase, largely driven by sales on Nintendo Switch. The Dark Souls Trilogy also saw a 106% boost in sales due to a price reduction on Xbox One.

Here is the GfK Boxed Top Ten for this week ending November 3, 2023:

Last Week	This Week	Title
1	1	Super Mario Bros Wonder
3	2	EA Sports FC 24

Great to hear for Robocop. I want to see more of these kinds of games making headway in gaming.

 

[Dick Jones]

EA Sports, Mario and Spider-Man. Please move out of the way for RoboCop:Rogue City. You have one week to comply.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Mario on a mission!

 

[Roufianos]

Woah, huge dropoff for MGS though a sloppy remaster is hardly something that would have legs.

 

[RoboFu]

The switch has 5 games on the list.

 

[Banjo64]

 

[The Skull]

Absolutely loving Robocop. They really nailed it.

 

[Fake]

Beat both Spider-Man and EA. Legs will be insane.

Thats a huge drop.

 

[Saber]

And Sega wants Sonic to beat Mario.
With what? Superstars? Lol, that game didn't show up in any chart, let alone has any chance to beat Mario Wonder. It has to be once again a stupidity from Iizuka.

 

[Tams]

Hey look! There's an Xbox title there!

We are all Xbox!

 

[MrA]

Beat both Spider-Man and EA. Legs will be insane.


Thats a huge drop.

Spidey will uptick again for the holiday season, basically all the hyped by at launch fans got it, casuals family's cost conscious etc will wait for black friday sales
Near holiday launches tend to be weaker followed by better legs

 

[MrA]

Hey look! There's an Xbox title there!

We are all Xbox!

No there are 10 xbox titles duh!

 

[FoxMcChief]

[ADiTAR]

Nice to see the Xbox ecosystem so strong in the top 10, and congrats to Microsoft for holding on to the #1 spot.

I just reached the final final final final Wonder stage, and damn, it's tough.

 

[onQ123]

Beat both Spider-Man and EA. Legs will be insane.


Thats a huge drop.

No it's not lol

That's like going from 2,000 last week to 1,200 this week

 

[SmokedMeat]

Happy to see Robocop make the list.

Also, Nintendo’s just killing it.

 

[DForce]

Beat both Spider-Man and EA. Legs will be insane.


Thats a huge drop.

Spider-Man 2018 dropped 57% in the third week.

40% is not a "huge" drop.

 

[MonkeyClaw36]

Robocop deserves it. A breath of fresh air in this stale industry of sequels, remasters and other GaaS shit.

 

[MonkeyClaw36]

I can hear this GIF.

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

Robocop deserves it. A breath of fresh air in this stale industry of sequels, remasters and other GaaS shit.

It's a licensed FPS tho based on a very popular film IP. Like, how original is that really, when you think about it?

Congrats to the game (and all the games that charted...where are Starfield and Forza BTW?), but it's somewhat a safe game to chart in Top 5 IMO.

 

[Flutta]

Good.

Robocop = safe IP is the funniest thing I’ve read in a while.

No it isn't.

 

[Klosshufvud]

Mario Wonder is excellent. I love the sheer imagination and ingenuity of it.

 

[LordBlodgett]

I'm loving seeing Robocop chart! It so nails the feeling of the Robocop world. Great to see AA games till have a chance when done well

 

[Deerock71]

YES! One of the funniest one-liners in the movie. State-of-the-art bang-bang.

 

[GymWolf]

You get to use that rifle in the game with the destruction you expect from such a weapon.

It's only a handheld

 

[Mr Moose]

Isn't it 2nd week at number 1? It's only been out 17 days and Spider-Man beat it on release.
Edit:

Yup.

 

[MrA]

Spider-Man 2018 dropped 57% in the third week.

40% is not a "huge" drop.

Spiderman 2 had a large second week drop than spiderman 1, so it's still too early to read if its legs will be weaker or stronger than the first

 

[Woopah]

Beat both Spider-Man and EA. Legs will be insane.


Thats a huge drop.

That's a pretty normal drop, not huge at all

Nice to see the Xbox ecosystem so strong in the top 10, and congrats to Microsoft for holding on to the #1 spot.

I just reached the final final final final Wonder stage, and damn, it's tough.

I just did it today, but it took me so many attempts haha

 

[DForce]

I'm just stating that a 40% drop is not huge. Not comparing legs at the moment because that's harder to do with. We stil need thr digital numbers.

 

[MacReady13]

My 2 fav games of the year, Mario and Robocop, doing very well! Turns out people do wanna play single player QUALITY games without progressive bullshit inserted into them…

 

[T-0800]

Who called Robocop outselling Forza?

I think I'm going to ask for Robocop as a Christmas present.

 

[Impotaku]

It's the first robocop game i have seen that really nails the look and feel of the films, lets be honest all the previous releases both arcade,and on console & home 8/16 bit computers have been shit.

Only took several decades but finally one that is good.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Good. Good for all of them. Glad to see more unique titles holding the public interest. I wasn't sure how the general public would receive Mario Wonder considering AAA side-scrollers are exceptionally rare these days.

 

[64bitmodels]

I wasn't sure how the general public would receive Mario Wonder considering AAA side-scrollers are exceptionally rare these days.

it was an easy success to guess.
1. It's Nintendo
2. It's Mario
3. 2D sidescrollers have been beloved by the public since.... well, since 7th gen, really. Celeste is regarded as one of the best games of all time, as are Hollow Knight and Terraria, all of which are 2D sidescrollers. Pizza Tower came out to glowing reviews and a massive fanbase, waiting for Antonblast. Sonic Mania 6 years ago was beloved and seen as a return to form for the franchise (wish I could say the same about Superstars) and of course the massive modding/rom hacking/fangame community for both Mario and Sonic as well as many others that I am 100% missing

Adding on top of the first 2 points it's the first 2D Mario game since NSMB Wii that didn't look like a soulless piece of shit that no one wanted, with actually good production values and a style and pizazz to top it off. the hype was massive and growing.

Who the flippety flop is still to buy Mario Kart at this late stage?

I feel like I didn't even learn about Wonder until like 2 months ago. Even that aside, you name a bunch of indie titles which was my point about AAA side-scrollers. Either way, I'm happy to have it!

 

[ReBurn]

Come on Nintendo give somebody else a chance

 

[Tams]

Everybody else can try not sucking.

 

[EDMIX]

Absolutely loving Robocop. They really nailed it.

ACVI and this game are my black friday picks lol

 

[Thanati]

 

[blacktout]

I feel like I didn't even learn about Wonder until like 2 months ago.

It was announced in June, so there were only about four months between reveal and release.

 

[HeWhoWalks]

Come on Mario give somebody else a chance

Fixed.

It's 2D Mario. That it was beaten by Spider-Man for even a week speaks volumes to how much that game sold/is selling. Otherwise, it would have been business as usual for a new Mario game of this type.

 

[Danjin44]

Is not over yet....

Spoiler

2023 refuses to stop!

Fucking Robocop is a safe game… what?

Also the game does a lot of stuff right. Great buy for $60. And they did a lot of unique stuff in it. The skills, the pistol upgrade system, it’s not like it’s a generic shooter.
