Super Mario Bros Wonder topped the UK boxed charts this week, pushing last week’s No.1 Spider-Man 2 to second place.
GfK’s report showed that while Super Mario Wonder dropped 55% in sales, Spider-Man 2 saw a 69% decrease week-on-week.
Both games remain two of 2023’s biggest boxed game launches, with Spider-Man 2 in fourth and Mario Wonder in fifth.
Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 debuted at No.4, EA Sports FC 24 remained at No.3 and Assassin’s Creed Mirage rounded out the Top 5 in the same position as last week despite a 25% decline in sales.
Metal Gear was one of four new entries in the physical charts this week, with EA Sports UFC 5 debuting at No.7. Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures and Just Dance 2024 debuted further down the charts.
Elsewhere, Sonic Superstars fell from No.4 to No.15 following a 72% decrease in sales while The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom dropped to No.17 even though it saw a 9% sales increase.
