Super Mario Bros Wonder is not the best-selling game in the first week of launch

The data for the UK top charts of the week ending on October 21st shows how Super Mario Bros Wonder ended up in second place in its first launch weekend. The chart’s top-selling game was Spider-Man 2, which was released on the same day as Super Mario Bros Wonder: October 20th. The data only shows physical sales however, so we do not know at this time how well these games did in digital form.

Best selling games – Week of October 21st

The list of best-selling games(physical) in the UK, the week of October 21st are:

1. Spider-Man 2
2. Super Mario Bros Wonder
3. EA Sports FC 24
4. Sonic Superstar
5. Assasins Creed Mirage
6. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
7. Red Dead Redemption (Remaster)
8. Hogwarts Legacy
9. Minecraft
10. Nintendo Switch Sports

The Data also reveals how Super Mario Bros Wonder takes the third spot in the most successful launch in the series’ history. The only games in the series that sold more on launch were Super Mario Odyssey and Super Mario 3D All-Stars.

In the UK, Super Mario Bros Wonder is the third biggest launch for a Mario platformer in chart history. It is only very narrowly behind Super Mario Odyssey and Super Mario 3D All-Stars. I imagine with digital, it may well be the biggest Mario platform game launch in the UK ever
