Yoshi's Crafted World: 14.7k (63 units above The Division 2)

The Division 2: 14.7k (-51%)

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice: 10.8k (-65%)

Yoshi's Crafted World barely takes the #1 spot, outselling The Division 2 by a mere 63 units! Almost 15k for the game is ok I guess?

Cosidering thata The Devision is an online game we can assume that with digital sales it was number one game in UK. Probobly it sold more in line with Sekiro. We need to keep in mind that Switch games (expcept indies, wich are much smaller games in size) are 90 % -80 % retail games and that their chart places are way too high.

Not according to Nintendo. I'd have to dig for the exact number, but if I remember correctly they said that Switch games available at retail have about a 30% digital ratio. It helps that their games are mostly also much smaller in installation size, generally under 10 GB, thus being able to install a surprising amount of games on just a 64GB SD card, for instance.

If Nintendo really wants some big hitter in the UK they need to revive the Mario Strikers franchise.

Yoshi somehow managed to top the chart albeit barely.

OK the 30 % is about right, but at the same time ps4 ratio is up to 50 % (the end 2017)

I wasn't refuting that part, it was clear that with digital Yoshi would be second if he was only leading by 63 copies. I just wanted to clarify on your 80-90% claim and that this ain't correct these days anymore. While Switch is clearly trailing behind Playstation and Xbox in digital sales, the difference is smaller than  some might think.

This number is skewed because of 3rd party title sells which have been increasingly on the digital side. 1st party titles however are more flirting with the 10-15% line however (except Smash)

It grabbed the #4 spot, and according to VGChartz it sold 11.494 units.

Kind of surprised Yoshi took the top spot. The UK is really the hardest territory for Nintendo. Their gaming history is kind of unique in a way that makes them prefer Playstation/XBox games.
