eh number 2 is a bad ghost warrior game, i'd be surprised if it does anything more then 40k topping in a dead week is just PR.
This is oft posted here, but I'm not actually sure it's the case.
Wii/DS were a cultural phenomenon like everywhere else. The Wii U bombed, again, like everywhere else. And so forth.
Maybe not in the uk. It won't take a lot to get to number 1 in the charts here considering other releases and sales atm. Zelda will likely be around 100k here, not sure if mk8d will do that week 1.
Edit - 68% increase for zelda, nice.
Against Call of Duty? I doubt itfixed for probability
That's not probable at all.fixed for probability
Mario Kart 8 will be the best selling Switch game this year probably
Bolded has me curious actually. Horizon: Zero Dawn debuted ahead of Zelda in the UK, but if Zelda sales are tied to Switch sales - as this would suggest - then would longer legs possibly lead to Breath of The Wild outselling Horizon in the UK in the long run?

Horizon did that week.Zelda BOTW didn't chart at #1?
I think Splatoon 2 and Odyssey will both outsell it, we shall see.

I don't regard that as particularly noteworthy considering that Pokemon is separated by SKU.It's been like 6 years since their games cracked the #1 spot. I seem to recall other regions like France taking more to their games and hardware

Right. Still surprised it 'lost'!Up against Horizon, which was also out for 2 more days.
Splatoon 2, maybe. But the only time a 3D Mario game has outsold a Mario Kart game on the same system was Mario 64, so I don't know about OdysseyI think Splatoon 2 and Odyssey will both outsell it, we shall see.
How good it's doing in the UK is a good litmus test for if it's going to do well or REALLY well.
If us miserable bastards like it, it's a hit.
it's not really that impressive. all the mario kart fans are going to buy this game anyway so sales are probably going to die down after the first 8 million or so. also, nintendo handhelds always do well so this is not that impressive. also, lots of games debut at #1 so it shouldn't shock people when another game does that.
In the grand scheme of things of this new market that Nintendo opened for the Switch; Mario Kart 8 and anything on the Wii U might as well have not existed.Didn't think the port to a different console would have so much of an effect, the switch is really on fire.

i hope the unified development plan leads to a whole console lifespan like this - a great, successful game every ~1.5 months

Not every game will perform well but yeah theres a good chance we get something like that. Post Splatoon 2 we just need to throw in one more game to the mix (outside of Mario and fire emblem) unless Xenoblade 2 actually releases this year!
Ideally there should be 4 games between Splatoon 2 and Christmas imo, to maximise sales.
No way, if we talk this year specifically Battlefront 2 will very likely be much bigger. The Switch won't have the necessary userbase for Mario Kart to outsell the big holiday shootbangs unless it makes it to 15mfixed for probability
