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.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

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

Also to point out, 3DS didn't get a number 1. Not Mario, not AC, not Pokemon. Switch got it with just its second big release. 

And also to point out, the 3DS outsold the Switch at launch.

Dang...

Beating Pokemon for first place doesn't necessarily mean it outsold it... we just hope it did! :D

Dissapointing, was hoping enough people would hold out on buying untill they lowered the price to an acceptable level. Switch owners can probably expect more overpriced ports now.

Don't get me wrong i don't mind ports of great games, but this is unacceptable especially towards those fans that supported the Wii-U and already own this game.

There were stores selling it in Australia for $58 AUD which is around $43 USD. So not too bad.
