We have seen the UK ranking with FIFA 22 still dominating the top ten, despite the release of several new entries of great interest such as Far Cry 6, positioned in second position, and Metroid Dread finished third in the standings, but there is also an interesting consideration, made by Christopher Dring of GamesIndustry.biz, on the arrival of the Nintendo Switch OLED.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe increased sales by 15%, Minecraft by 5%, Animal Crossing: New Horizons by 4%, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury by 17%, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild by 19 %, Luigi's Mansion 3 by 21%, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword by 16% and Super Mario Odyssey by 22%.
