After the slight delay of last week’s UK boxed charts<\/a>, you would be forgiven for thinking that this week’s may be much of the same again; but with a whole bunch of new releases, the data has been well and truly shaken up.<\/p>\n

Yes, FIFA 23<\/a> still holds onto the top spot like a leech, but this week has seen two great openings for Nintendo. Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope<\/a> comes straight out of the gates in at number three, proving itself to be a franchise which is ever-growing in popularity despite being a somewhat unusual pitch, and Persona 5 Royal<\/a> lands the number six spot with an impressive 79% of sales coming from the Switch (Playstation 5 made up 17% while Xbox Series X|S accounted for 4%).<\/p>\n

Splatoon 3<\/a> continues to slip down the charts in its seventh week on sale, now appearing at number seven, while Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/a> and the other Nintendo mainstays such as Nintendo Switch Sports<\/a> and Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/a> prove that it is going to take substantially more than four new releases to push them out of the charts.<\/p>\n

Anyhow, that’s quite enough chit chat from us! Here is your look at this week’s UK charts:<\/p>\n
