Sonic Superstars Debuts in UK Physical Sales Charts at 4th Place
Along with Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Super Mario Bros. Wonder debuted strong in the UK last week. According to the latest Gfk charts (per Games Industry), it’s the biggest 2D Mario launch in the region’s history and only “narrowly” behind Super Mario Odyssey and Super Mario 3D All-Stars.
However, the other big story is that Sonic Superstars held its own against Nintendo’s flagship property. The 2D side-scrolling debuted in fourth with 49 percent of physical sales on Nintendo Switch, 34 percent on PS5, 10 percent on Xbox and six percent on PS4. Launch sales were down 63 percent compared to Sonic Frontiers, but it could receive a boost from Black Friday later this month.
Other new releases include Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged at 32nd place. Lords of the Fallen, which debuted last week in fourth, fell to 18th place with sales dropping by 70 percent. Check out the full top-ten best-selling games for the week ending October 21st below.
