This Week’s Charts – (UK Sales, Week Ending 02/09/2017)

This week saw the release of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, a wonderful collaboration between Ubisoft’s Rabbids and the Mushroom Kingdom characters we all know and love. The question is – did the game’s incredible turnaround in hype and appreciation do it enough to secure the top spot?

The answer to that question is an agonisingly “almost”! Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle secured number two, just behind Uncharted: The Lost Legacy which holds onto the top spot from last week. It is of course a shame that it couldn’t quite squeeze its way to number one, but is nevertheless a very strong performance indeed.

Elsewhere in the charts it is a familiar sight for Switch representation; Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is still on track, currently sitting at number 11 (down three places from last week). We also have Splatoon 2 and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sitting side by side once again, occupying 17th and 18th respectively (both down six places from last week).

So congratulations to the Ubisoft team behind Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle for such a successful launch! If you’ve been playing the game make sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments and sound off to other Switch players in the forums!

As always, bear in mind that these sales are for the UK and only take into account physical, retail sales (not downloads).
