First sales numbers are in for Donkey Kong Bananza (UK Physical sales):
''Donkey Kong Bananza launches at No.1 in the UK chart (physical sales) . Its launch is 3x bigger than the launch of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze on Switch. But it is less than half of Super Mario Odyssey’s''. - Chris Dring.

Install base estimates put that number at 36K sales. Higher than the retail launch sales in the UK of games such as Astro Bot, Death Stranding 2, Echoes of Wisdom, Kirby and the forgotten land, Crash Bandicoot 4. Seems a pretty great launch, given the install base differences. The increase of digital sales for Nintendo games since 2017 also means that DK Bananza true sales numbers in the UK are closer than the retail sales difference between DK Bananza and Super Mario Odyssey. |
That's still a good start though, right? |
Yeah it is, Switch 2 doesn't have that big of an install base in the UK yet launch sales for DK Bananza at retail in the UK is competitive/better than most other platforming games.
