UK Charts: Nintendo Can Be Proud Of Its Last Christmas Before 'Switch 2'Top 40 is chock full of Switch gamesby Ollie Reynolds 4m agoShare:0Image: NintendoWell folks, in what is presumably the last Christmas period before Nintendo unleashes its next major hardware, Switch games have performed admirably as folks look to fill those stockings come Wednesday morning.In fact, let's look at the numbers here: 8 games in the top 10 are either Switch exclusive or can be played on the Switch, and the same can be said of 26 titles from the complete top 40 charts. That's impressive, and it really goes to show just how popular boxed Switch games really are at this time of year.Naturally, digital sales may paint a different picture, but it's at least a good result for Nintendo in terms of the physical retail space. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was the best-selling first-party Nintendo title, followed by Super Mario Party Jamboree, Nintendo Switch Sports, Minecraft (third-party), Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Lots of what we would probably call "evergreen" titles, then.It'll be interesting to see how things shake out in the new year as we inch toward a new hardware announcement, currently due before the end of March. Will Switch games maintain their current momentum..? Only time will tell.Here's a look at this week's top 40 in full, with platform breakdowns for all of the titles available on other consoles alongside the Switch:Last WeekThis WeekGamePlatform Split31Call of Duty: Black Ops 622Hogwarts LegacySwitch 48%, PS5 21%, PS4 20%, Xbox 10%13EA Sports FC 25PS5 41%, Switch 28%, PS4 17%, Xbox 15%44Mario Kart 8 Deluxe55Super Mario Party Jamboree66Nintendo Switch Sports107Minecraft148Super Mario Bros.
