UK Charts: Zelda Falls From The Top Five As New Releases Shake Things Up

It's dangerous to go alone

www.nintendolife.com

The latest look at the UK charts is in, and things have been shaken up.
Yes, after holding onto the silver for two weeks, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom has dropped to sixth this time thanks to the arrival of Silent Hill 2, Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero and Undisputed at second, third and fifth respectively.

Naturally, EA Sports FC 25 still hangs around in the top spot (where the Switch only makes up 13% of its sales) and Atlus' latest RPG Metaphor: Refantazio makes its chart debut at seventh.
A slightly quiet Nintendo presence in the top 10 this week, then. We wonder whether a certain Jamboree will give the Big N a much-needed spike next time.

Here's a look at this week's top 40 in full, with platform breakdowns for all of the titles available on other consoles alongside the Switch:

 

[Fake]

Good for Dragon Ball.

 

[Luipadre]

SH2

 

[yazenov]

No context for Dragon balls, Silent Hill 2, and Metaphor? Guess we have to wait for Chris from gamesindustry.biz

 

[DeepEnigma]

Damned footy freaks.

Stop buying that incremental trash, ya mugs.

Rather, we should wait to see the Physical+Digital data that will clearly change the numbers and positions on the list.

He has access to both and shares the info on twitter usually.

 

[DeepEnigma]

 

[AW_CL]

Apparently, Metaphor has flopped; that’s what happens when you sign a marketing deal with a dead brand.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Picked up this physical versions of Metaphor and FFI-VI remaster this month, from hit.co.uk well below RRP.

What a time for JRPG fans to be alive.

 

[ElCasual]

Wanna know the numbers of Metaphor in each consoles.

 

[Darsxx82]

He has access to both and shares the info on twitter usually.

Of course, I meant that the important thing is to know the physical + digital data to know the reality of the figures...... whether it is Chris or someone else who offers them. Physical data today tend to be practically "useless"

 

[onQ123]

So did EA Sports FC 25 not sale at all on Xbox One or is the 17% for both Xbox Series & Xbox One?

 

[Flabagast]

Very good for SH2, I bet it will sell more than Dead space and Alan wake 2 at least.

We heard about physical shortages for the game, is that true ?

 

[Saber]

Excellent work DB. Akira would be proud.

 

[Woopah]

It's very annoying that gamesindustry.biz doesn't do UK articles anymore.

 

[Woopah]

Games now just have "Xbox" versions so there's often no visibility of the breakdown breakdown Series and One.

 

[Shin-Ra]

Damned footy freaks.

Stop buying that incremental trash, ya mugs.

Sports fanatics. Football, Handegg, Rounders. Fans of all these sports buy (or subscribe) yearly chive-seasoned regurgitations, many for a high-price!

Easy marks for publishers so it’s no coincidence these games are additionally transaction and gambling-heavy.

 

[Bloobs]

Silent Hill is back!

 

[SweetTooth]

The Xbox portion of the splits

 

[onQ123]

Games now just have "Xbox" versions so there's often no visibility of the breakdown breakdown Series and One.

I know but it's labeled Xbox Series as if 17% was on the Series consoles & not both generations

 

[onQ123]

Why are they randomly picking between " Xbox Series" & "Xbox One " instead of just saying " Xbox" ?

 

[Woopah]

I know but it's labeled Xbox Series as if 17% was on the Series consoles & not both generations

I think that's just NintendoLife not being consistent with what they write in that column.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Switch ratio for the Pixel remasters looks really good considering the PS4 % will also be PS5 owners as there's no separate PS5 release.

 

[Hrk69]

Damned footy freaks.

Stop buying that incremental trash, ya mugs.

Never

 

[DeepEnigma]

Never

 

[begotten]

Where's the Xbox % for Metaphor?

 

[Hrk69]

 

[jm89]

Where's the Xbox % for Metaphor?

Nintendo life seems to only give out splits for multiplats that are also on switch.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Where's the Xbox % for Metaphor?

 

[DeepEnigma]

 

[Roufianos]

Metaphor and DBZ have clearly sold well so Silent Hill coming in ahead of them is great news.

 

[Dafegamer]

Very Happy for Dragon Ball and Silent Hill 2

 

[kazuyamishima]

Remember that this is physical charts only.

[jm89]

Beating FIFA 25 is no easy feat during its first month for launch.

 

[Mr Moose]

3. Undisputed

Never heard of it.

 

[jm89]

Never heard of it.

First realistic boxing game in over a decade. Although by a small and unknown studio so doesn't have the exposure like fight night.

Seems to have done decent sale wise the first week atleast.

Haven't played a boxing game in ages, might have to check it out.

FC25 on Xbox Series that sold almost the same as PS4 is absurd

 

[DenchDeckard]

give us the digital splits Dringleberry!

 

[adamsapple]

Physical only figures, Xbox has historically sold more digitally in EU/UK, so it's kind of a half baked figure.

 

[fudgybrownie]

And so is playstation...

 

[adamsapple]

And so is playstation...

Not as much as 80% digitally like some big named games on Xbox have.

Physical + Digital tie in is probably gonna bring it up 10 or more percent points.

 

[Shadowstar39]

What the hell is "FC" in FC 2025.. I am guessing some weird euro soccer type game. You guys are obsessed with that sport, i just don't get it.
I guess your football obsession is bigger than horror game of the decade.

Also Mortal Kombat 11 in from 2019. Its on there at 8th place and the new one is no where in site. Lol. It was good game but damn. Also would have higher switch sales if they put it on the cart. 32gb is too much to swallow for a digital download. I get that its a far cry from the 100gb of the ps5 version but still, they have 32gb cartridges. I would gladly buy it , even if graphically inferior just for portability, like I bought the vita mk9 game, and had a blast with. I

And then add digital for playstation. The percentage won't change much. Just accept that 3rd party sells more on playstation.

 

[adamsapple]

This chart already adds physical. And none of my posts said the digital ratio will make it higher than the PS version's total. You can breath easy.

That's actually Xbox One + Xbox Series that's fighting for its life against PS4.

 

[Evil Calvin]

All but 5 or so games are either sequels, spinoffs, existing IP or collection. Only Red Dead Redemption, Wreckfest, Bluey, and Metaphor are TRUE new IP's. Hogwarts and Star Wars Outlaws are in iffy territory as they are based on existing franchises but entirely new games.(Of those only two are recent). Industry is fucked.
