Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

In the United Kingdom, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is off to a strong start. Not only did it debut at #1 of Software sales in the country, it also outsold Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! / Let’s Go, Eevee!, therefore becoming the fastest-selling Nintendo Switch game.

But that’s not all, it’s also become the fastest-selling Super Smash Bros. game by a wide margin:

  • sales are 302% higher than Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
  • sales are 233% higher than Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS
  • sales are 62.5% higher than Super Smash Bros. Brawl

What’s more: those sales do not include digital sales!

Ever since launch, Nintendo hasn’t changed the price of the Nintendo Switch, but in the United Kingdom, there was an unofficial price cut since Black Friday. As a result, sales received a major boost: according to Christopher Dring from GamesIndustry.biz, the console ended up selling around 200 000 units during the past 3 weeks. Since launch, the console has now sold about 1.4 million units in the country.
