Switch Game Sales Surpass Xbox One’s For The First Time In The UK
February is already here and we’re getting a look at some records broken this past month.
New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe, which launched on January 11th, entered the monthly charts at number 4.
Super Smash Bros Ultimate, which entered at number 4 in the December charts, went down to number 6 for its second month as a result of sales being down 87 per cent month-on-month.
A year ago, the Switch only represented 13.1 per cent of all physical games sold in the UK, while in January 2019, it represented 28.1 per cent.
In addition to that, the Switch has sold more physical titles monthly than the Xbox One.
The Switch has been doing better than the Xbox One in terms of value for six out of the past nine months already.
