At retailers such as Currys, customers could bag a brand new PS5 console with the game included at a price of \u00a3399.99, though it appears that this discount is now no longer valid at the time of writing, so it&#8217;ll be interesting to see where Lego Star Wars winds up next week.<\/p>\n<p>Switch maintains a strong showing this week, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/fifa_23\">FIFA 23<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/mario_kart_8_deluxe\">Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/legend_of_zelda_tears_of_the_kingdom\">The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom<\/a> all taking the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th spot respectively. FIFA 23 sold the most on the Switch this week, making up 40% of the overall console split. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/pikmin_4\">Pikmin 4<\/a> also moves up a spot to land in the 8th position, which is nice.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, it&#8217;s pretty standard stuff this week with only one new release in the form of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/atlas_fallen\" class=\"external\">Atlas Fallen<\/a> at position 22. Curiously, digital copies of legacy <strong>Call of Duty<\/strong> games have been making waves recently thanks to the revived multiplayer compatibility on Xbox, but given that boxed copies of these titles are no longer being produced, they won&#8217;t show up here.
