The latest UK software sales chart has been released for the week ending October 19, 2024, revealing a strong debut for Super Mario Party Jamboree.

The game managed to take the top spot in its first week – and remember, that’s without digital data. Nintendo will also be happy to hear that physical sales were 35 percent more compared to Mario Party Superstars.

The physical version of Tomb Raider I-III Remastered also came out last week. This release debuts at #4.

Why was Mario Party Superstars so unpopular compared to Super Mario Party? Wasn’t it a much better game?

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

TOMB RAIDER I-II-III REMASTERED

The real reason why i'm here.

This result after being available since February and basically with double dippers only is amazing.

I'm sure the team is hyped for that second release next year! First one went above expectations for the publisher already.

Silent Hill 2 was heavily front loaded. God knows what Konami is thinking of all this.

Holy shit...i didn't even notice that tumble. 2-31 is...certainly a thing. But that doesn't mean much nowadays with physical only. Let's wait for the actual sales later this week.

I think the game got sold out very quickly. Could be playing into that.

Physical is currently at 102 EUR in Amazon NL. There’s just no discs around. Super weird.

Why is he surprised that a Nintendo game sold bigger on bigger install base?

Notice the tone of this red tapeworm

This guy kind of comes across as jaded that he embarrassingly thought he was an insider with breaking Switch 2 launch news about a guaranteed September event

Chris Dring has doubled down on Switch 2 reveal this month

Undisputed seems to have done quiet well in the uk, holding well in the best sellers charts on psn at 4th position behind blops 6, ea fc 25 and fornite.

Really surprised, as the boxing genre as a whole has declined over the years and the market for realistic boxing games is even smaller.

Because it doesn't always happen:

• Echoes of Wisdom physical sales were 14% lower than Links Awakening
• Fire Emblem Engage was 31% lower than Three Houses
• Xenoblade 3 only sold a few units more than Xenoblade 2

A 35% increase in physical sales is quite surprising.

Did he advise Nintendo to release Switch 2 sooner then? Or he didn't even report those numbers

 

[Flabagast]

Please remember that Silent Hill 2 is sold out nearly anywhere in the UK, hence the bix drop in boxed charts

This. I wanted to order the game online 2 days after its release, but the retailers that were selling it at the normal price had a ~2 weeks shipping time.

Konami fucked up.

 

[coachmcguirk91]

Konami fucked up.

Besides production issues, I can't imagine a worse marketing campaign by Konami. Even Bloober sent out a public letter mentioning how inept Konami was months prior to release

 

[RetroGamingUK]

Konami fucked up.

It’s obviously performing well above their expectations then.

Back in 2023 he claimed that Nintendo had no new "heavy hitters" after Zelda TOTK because the Switch 2 was coming, instead Nintendo announced and released a new 2D Mario and still haven't spoken about the Switch 2 a year later than that.

 

[Woopah]

Did he advise Nintendo to release Switch 2 sooner then? Or he didn't even report those numbers

He did report those numbers. His comments now about Nintendo delaying the Switch 2 are clearly him making a joke.

Oh thanks. I was wonder why the drop was so big.
