There's isn't a lot of competition right now, so it isn't too difficult for an AAA game to hit #1.

However, since Nintendo games usually sell very poorly in the UK, this is quite good.

i read on gaf that it had a better debut than MK7 & MK8

Better than MK7? That's a good sign for the popularity of the Switch in the UK.
