Chris tidbits:

It's a fairly busy week for the UK boxed charts, with several new entries making it into the top ten. First up, of course, is Princess Peach: Showtime! coming in at number three. A respectable debut, to be sure, though it wasn't enough to beat EA Sports FC 24 at number one and Capcom's new action RPG Dragon's Dogma II at number two.

The other newcomers are Rise of the Ronin at number five and Alone in the Dark at number six. Overall, considering how long FC 24 has been available at this point, it seems a shame that none of the newcomers could knock it off its perch. Maybe next time, eh?

Other notable changes this week include the complete absence of Unicorn Overlord along with Mario vs. Donkey Kong tumbling down to number twenty-nine. Meanwhile, It Takes Two has seen a healthy boost in sales and rises up to number twelve, while Final Fantasy fever has seemingly gripped Switch owners to bring Final Fantasy VII & Final Fantasy VIII Remastered - Twin Pack back into the top forty.

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

This is boxed sales...Xbox doesn't care about that.

Footy is huge across the old continent and even more so in the UK so there's no surprise that EA FC 24 is topping these charts all the time.

I like football, but hate Fifa/EA Sports. Used to play it up until 2011 but realised its a con of broken AI and the same old poop every year!

I hear you lol. The only football related game I "play" nowadays is Football Manager. I'm religiously doing at least 1 or 2 saves per each new FM release, and it's currently the only PC game I still play.

Xbox is getting boxed around the room lately. 2 black eyes.

…Because the only viable game for the world’s - and UK’s - most popular sport is at #1?

There’s no other credible alternative. I used to be a Pro Evo guy until Konami shit the bed

Not especially big launch for DD2, Peach or Ronin this week, a bit underwhelming.

I wonder if this will make EA stop doing Legacy Editions for Switch and instead do proper ports.

 

[LordOcidax]

Some people are going to say that the game is in perfect shape

 

[kazuyamishima]

It seems that PS and Nintendo are eating Microsoft’s market share considering these results.
