If Nintendo used to give digital sells. They UK is Japan for the last 3 to 5 years, with Nintendo being the whole top ten. This is crazy and bonkers; this is the UK. Or am I dreaming 💭.
That top ten though has the same two usual suspects, Mario Kart 8 and gta 5, for the last 8 years 😎.
F=ma.
Wonder if Pokemon Scarlet & Violet will get any additional content and when can it be expected.
