The latest UK boxed- video game software charts have come through and Pikmin 4 has shot straight to the No.1 spot this week. New data shows that Pikmin 4 sold 45% more than Pikmin 3: Deluxe for the Nintendo Switch back in October 2020, though that game was an enhanced Wii U port. The critically acclaimed The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom continues to perform well though it has dropped down to No. 4 this week and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has fallen one place to No. 5. Here’s the GfK Boxed Top Ten for this week ending July 22, 2023:
| Last Week | This Week | Title |
|---|---|---|
| New Entry | 1 | Pikmin 4 |
| 1 | 2 | FIFA 23 |
| New Entry | 3 | The Sims 4 Horse Ranch |
| 2 | 4 | The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom |
| 4 | 5 | Mario Kart 8 Deluxe |
| 6 | 6 | Hogwarts Legacy |
| 7 | 7 | Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 |
| 9 | 8 | Minecraft (Switch) |
| 10 | 9 | Elden Ring |
| 13 | 10 | Diablo IV |
I’m glad that Pikmin 4 is getting the sales that I wish other Pikmin games had gotten, maybe we’ll get future content for this game or get a Deluxe version on the next system
I wish Pikmin 4 well, but this doesn’t say anything about sales numbers. It’s just an arbitrary number placing. FIFA 23 is at number 2, a game released last year. There’s no major releases this week. We’ve seen MK8D this year top the chart, a decade old Wii U port. Why don’t the officials in charge of the UK charts give us numbers, like they do in Japan? It would remove opportunities like this to put spin on things.
It’s a great game been playing it with my daughter and she loves it. Only thing I would have liked more is the CO op mode was better. Shooting pebbles such a wasted opportunity. Other player should have been able to play the puppy
This means if Nintendo works on Pikmin 5 immediately like Tears of the Kingdom, it can come out by 2028.
Yeah not happening
