UK Charts: Elden Ring Can't Topple EA Sports FC 24 As Euro 2024 Is In Full Swing

Nice to see Paper Mario still in the top 5, playing right now actually and I'm close to the end (chapter 8), such a great game.

I also think Elden Ring will be on the Switch 2 which I'm sure will put it back on top place then.

Feels like ttyd is still hanging in fairly strong, which is awesome. Just started it and it's great so far, can't wait to play more.

FC24 has finally dropped to a more reasonable price, and part of me is still a little tempted, but the 20GB download is ultimately putting me off, not just in principle, but when you consider how quickly that adds up in practice.

One 20GB update will essentially grow to 40GB including my main Switch Lite, 60GB if I include the second Lite (for argument's sake), 80GB counting the next generation console (assuming that it has backwards compatibility), and if EA continues along this path of miserliness, then multiply that for each successive instalment. And I imagine that families with multiple consoles will be experiencing similar headaches, which could have been alleviated with a proper physical release. For all of the faults of the "Legacy Editions", you got a full game on cartridge for your money (and minimal updates), and they were usually dirt cheap pretty quickly anyway.

And with those sales rankings, Nintendo might as well take the GTA V with Mario Kart 8 and simply re-release it for the third console in a row.

EDIT: It's also just dawned on me that Mario Kart 8 is now a 10 year old game...

I didn’t know Mario Party Superstars is on PS5.

A few evergreen titles still appearing like MK8 and AC. Guessing these are potential attach sales to Switch consoles. Staggering that the demand is still there 8 years in. That PS2 crown is Nintendo's.

Wind back to 2016 when the analysts and self proclaimed experts laughed at Nintendo when they suggested they would sell over a 100 million units. Who's laughing now.

Hang on, I didn’t know Mario Party Superstars was cross-platform! 😂

Need for speed hot pursuit, way to rub it in. Xbox 0%. It made me smile. Some funky numbers in this week's charts.

@Duncanballs : The Xbox version is likely loooong out of print, but the stat is no less amusing.

Amazing one of the worse culprits of MTX is top selling game.

I didn't expect to see Pokémon Legends Arceus on this list, much less as the only Pokémon title. Makes me wonder how its overall sales are going.

The blind loyalty of sports fans will never cease to confuse me.

In my opinion, they are pretty boring. It is too hard to control, and you end up passing/giving the ball to the other team.

Wow, that’s a weird stat… a multi platform game selling 100% on one console… I assume it must be either a 99.999% rounded up or the switch version had a big discount

Mario Kart still amazes me every week. The game is amazing, the attach rate per system sold must be astronomical. Jan of 2022 it was over 40 percent and it doesn't look like it ever slows. No wonder Nintendo isn't pushing a number 9 yet.
