Nintendo’s latest title, Mario Tennis Fever, has seen a significant drop in the UK gaming charts, falling from second to seventh place after just two weeks since its release. This decline is notable as it is overshadowed by the continued success of established franchises like EA SPORTS FC 26, Mario Kart World, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, and Minecraft.
In contrast, Tarsier Studios’ game, Reanimal, has climbed to third place, with 20% of its sales attributed to the new Switch 2 console. Meanwhile, Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition has made a strong return to the top ten, with the Switch 2 emerging as its best-selling platform.
Currently, EA SPORTS FC 26 holds the top spot, with a platform distribution of 47% from PS5, followed by 24% from Switch, and other consoles contributing smaller percentages. Mario Kart World has dropped to second place this week.
The latest rankings show a mix of old and new titles. Other notable entries include Pokémon Legends: Z-A in fourth, Minecraft in fifth, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 in sixth. Mario Tennis Fever continues its downward trajectory, dropping from second to seventh place.
The full charts illustrate the competitive landscape of the gaming market. The notable shifts indicate that while new releases like Mario Tennis Fever attract attention, long-standing franchises maintain strong fan bases and sales.
As the weeks progress, the impact of these changes on sales figures and future releases will be observed closely by industry analysts and gamers alike.
