Europe: video games sales for Week 48 (UK), Week 47 (France), more
United Kingdom – Video Games Sales (Week 48)
After a strong debut, last week, Pokémon Sun and Moon had an average second week, and dropped to #10 and #9 respectively. Since we’ve entered the strongest period of the year for video game sales, that drop was to be expected, especially for a handheld game (available in two versions, to boot).
Pokémon Sun and Moon remains the best-seller on Nintendo 3DS, as Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS didn’t sell nearly enough to even dream of outselling it. This handheld version landed at #25, which shows that a large number of players were satisfied with the Wii U version (and that not that many players were interested in a handheld version). On Wii U, the best-seller is once again Mario Kart 8.

France – Video Games Sales (Week 47)
In France, we finally have games on Nintendo platforms in the Top 5, and unsurprisingly, it’s Pokémon Sun and Moon! They’re also the best-sellers on Nintendo 3DS, but that was to be expected since they’re #1 and #2 of the All-Format chart. On Wii U, Just Dance 2017 is once again dominating sales.

Just like in France, we finally have some games on Nintendo platforms in the Top 10 after many weeks without a single one. Unsurprisingly, it’s Pokémon Sun and Moon, which landed at #1 and #2 respectively.

Australia/New Zealand Video Games Sales (Week 47)
For the second week, Pokémon Sun remains #1 in Australia, with Pokémon Moon slipping to #3. Meanwhile, on Wii U, Just Dance 2017 pops back up at #10. Those games are the best-sellers of their respective platform.
In New Zealand, Pokémon Sun and Moon both lost 2 places, and ended up at #3 and #4 respectively. Unfortunately, there isn’t any other game on a Nintendo platform in the Top 10. The best-seller on Wii U is… Assassin’s Creed III.
