Full UK physical chart data is now in for the week ending 25th December, giving the full picture on festive sales. All told it was a solid week for Switch titles, though the presence of its games was reduced slightly due to boosted sales of multiplatform releases.

Leading the way for Switch, somewhat predictably, was Mario Kart 8 Deluxe; the outstanding racer is no doubt a go-to purchase for anyone picking up a new Switch, and of course it features in some bundles. The ongoing success of the game is truly impressive, with the Switch iteration achieving numbers that were impossible for the Wii U original.

Just Dance 2022 continues to perform well, climbing this week. It’s multiplatform, but it’s worth noting that a whopping 89% of its physical sales last week were on the Switch.

In the top 10 we can also see the ever-present Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Minecraft, the latter of which is only the Switch version when it comes to these UK charts.

Here’s a look at this week’s top ten all formats chart:
