I guess i'm at a risk of being proven wrong about MK 8 not surpassing Zelda BoTW.

"Nintendo Switch has secured its first UK No.1 with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

In fact, it's the first Nintendo boxed game to get to No.1 since 2011, when the format holder topped the charts with Pokémon White on DS. It's also the first Mario game to reach the top of the charts since Mario Kart Wii in 2008."

Lol I was LITERALLY SECONDS from posting that

Seems we're all understimating MK8D. I thought it was gonna give the Switch momentum, and be a decent to great seller, but maybe it can be a top seller? COlor me impressed.

Perfect timing! :D

I gotta say i'm really impressed. Never thought that first place was so... big.
The UK was far from being Nintendo's best market during Wii U's lifetime, but this reaction to both Switch and sales of MK 8 - even Zelda - is really encouraging; winning back the UK market is really important!

And if i'm wrong, i'll still be glad about it! :D
