There may have been a lack of new releases over the past week but there were certainly a lot of high-profile title in the UK charts after Christmas. Interestingly the Pokémon titles Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon didn’t do as well as we would have expected the week after Christmas, especially as Amazon US said that Pokémon Sun & Moon and Final Fantasy XV were the best-selling games of the holiday season. Anyway, as you would have expected it was Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and FIFA 17 battling it out in the post-Christmas charts. Here’s the best-selling games:

Of course the UK charts are convoluted with COD, and FIFA 17.
So much for Pokemon GO massively boosting the sales of Pokemon Sun & Moon to extreme numbers. I shouldn’t be surprised, though. Most users of the game were casuals that probably had no intention of getting a console or handheld device for the main titles. In other words, don’t expect too much from Super Mario Run boosting sales of Super Mario on Switch.
