UK software sales chart for the week ending February 22, 2025 – Mario Kart 8 Deluxe moves up​

Posted on February 28, 2025 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch

​

The latest UK software sales chart for the week ending February 22, 2025 is now available.
As far as new Nintendo Switch games, there isn’t anything to report in that department. That means it’s Mario Kart 8 Deluxe again at the top for the console, coming in at #3 and up from #5 previously. We do see some older titles return such as Mortal Kombat 1 and Bluey: The Video Game.

Strange, I think BotW was always in the top 40 until TotK came, and now both are out.

 

[Zacfoldor]

How can a game sell so many copies? Surely by now there have been more copies sold than Switches.

 

[Hudo]

Is Mario Kart 8 the most successful Nintendo game at this point?

obligatory prediction sales chart/article from biased sellout journo

[Polygon] Mario Kart 8 likely to be the worst-selling game in... what is that chart

An interesting article which just popped up from Polygon, diving into why Mario Kart 8 could possibly be the worst-selling game in the franchise's history. http://www.polygon.com/2014/5/15/5718168/mario-kart-series-sales Lock if old, or too slow.

Edit: nice to see yakuza debuting at no2 spot, but somehow cant find any "mild success" avowed placement, 0 in top50, even tho it launched 18th feb, so in that very week
We got some gems in there:

DOG MAN: MISSION IMPAWSIBLE

Yet avoved with its 5.9milion of players engagement wasnt selling enough to beat even that xD

Is Mario Kart 8 the most successful Nintendo game at this point?

Imagine Nintendo listening to people whinning about ' stop bring remasters of Wii U games to NS'.

 

[Hudo]

Imagine Nintendo listening to people whinning about ' stop bring remasters of Wii U games to NS'.

I am still waiting for that Wind Waker HD port, tbh.

I am still waiting for that Wind Waker HD port, tbh.

I in other hand still waiting for Twilight Princess. I was told the Wii U version is a great version.

Strange, I think BotW was always in the top 40 until TotK came, and now both are out.

They don't market, support or update them. TotK didn't get any DLC, you'd think after a combined 30+ million sales they'd do something or even advertise them around Christmas but they just move on and don't care.

 

[Flabagast]

KCD2 is way too low

 

[Unknown?]

Shadow above Mario wonder is well deserved!
