Top 10 UK Games Chart: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Breaks Nintendo Switch Record

Smashing records.

4 Comments

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate might have only launched for Nintendo Switch a few days ago, but it's already breaking records. The fighting game has become the console's biggest ever launch, according to sales monitor Chart-Track, meaning it also performed better in its opening weekend than Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee did combined in theirs.

Red Dead Redemption 2 remains at No.2 for the week ending December 8, while FIFA 19 drops two places to No.3. Below these, Battlefield V spends a third consecutive week at No.4 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe benefits from hardware bundling with Switch consoles and Smash Bros. to finish at No.5.

Now Playing: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Review In Progress

Three new entries hit the chart this week: Just Cause 4 debuts at No.6, PUBG's PS4 release helps it re-enter the ranking at No.22, and Sega Mega Drive Classics' Switch debut helps it break back in at No.33.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has been a critical success as much as a commercial one. Edmond Tran awarded the game a 9/10 in our Super Smash Bros. Ultimate review-in-progress, saying its "diverse content is compelling, its strong mechanics are refined, and the encompassing collection is simply superb."
