Wooow a port of a game that only appeared on WiiU and 3DS. Nice!

It is nice, when Switch has only around 200k instal base in UK while PS4 and XB1 have instal base of few milions each.

Renewed stock of Activision Blizzard’s ‘Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy’ helps it regain No1 from ‘Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age’ which drops to No7.

New entry ‘Splatoon 2’ comes very close to claiming Nintendo’s second ever Switch-only All Formats No1 with a strong debut, but has to settle for No2. ‘Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy’ matches ‘The Last of Us: Remastered’ with the most weeks at No1 for a PS4-only title with 3 weeks. ‘Splatoon 2’ outperforms the original becoming the 3rd biggest ever Switch launch, behind Zelda and Mario. Both ‘Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’ and ‘The Legend of Zelda: The Breath of the Wild’ bounce back in to the Top 10 to No’s 4 and 6 respectively. It is Mario’s highest chart position since its third week of launch.

WTF Splatoon 2 opening didn't manage to beat the third week of Crash Bandicoot??? That's absolutely insane, there is no way you people can downplay this, Splatoon has been crashed in the UK!!!

Where are all the people who said that the Crash Bandicoot Remake would be a flop? XD

You always urge the same argument, don't you?
Yep, you're right that the Switch install base is smaller than the PS4 / Xbox One install base but you should also consider that the Switch only has 3-4 big games available right now while on the other side PS4 / Xbox One have dozens available games. At the moment there is a much bigger diversity on the PS4 / Xbox One. Just look at the PS4 line-up. So many big games coming up every month, it is nearly impossible to keep up with them as a PS4 player. For example imagine a 4.5M install base for PS4 in the UK, 200k of them would buy game X, 300k of them would buy game Y, 500k of them would buy game Z. This diversity is the big difference between PS4 and Switch. With the lack of big games on Switch, a lot of Switch owners will have to buy Splatoon 2 to have a game to play on the Switch. That's not the case with the PS4 install base.

What a flawed argument.

People didn't bought Splatoon bc of the lack of games on Switch. People bought the switch so they can have access to it.

Also, funny that you always consider indie or niche games on Vita as a valid option, but on Nintendo consoles what only count is its big titles.

Talk about double standards.

Was he talking about Yooka-Laylee or about Yokai Watch?

Nice to see a few Switch games in the upper region's of the charts.

Go back to your original post and read the post above it. The one that says Splatoon 2 has opened with strong sales and narrowly missed out on top spot whilst outperforming the original. Nintendo have got a lot to do to win back the UK gamers, but seeing Switch games in the top 10 is small steps on the road to recovery. You could probably acknowledge this if you take off your Sony blinkers once in a while.

Not a whole lot of love for Splatoon in the UK. Not very worrying but this is Nintendo's big summer release, expected a bit more push.
