Looks like Pokemon is doing its job, and driving new hardware sales for Switch.

Yup, the evergreen trinity and peaks of their respective genres

No, Aigis also doesn't have it.
Although not having MK8D with the Switch means that you two don't count as people though
Add perspective these titles had large jumps the week before too.
Mario Kart 8 Probably selling rediculously well.

Well deserved. It's the only game that has come close to knocking Super Metroid out of my #1 spot.
Does this include bundles? There were some crazy deals in the UK the last week (Switch + MK8 + Zelda) for like £280.
JRPG in the UK that released almost a year ago.
Obviously it's nothung notable
Yep. Also nice to see Mario Kart continue to sell really well.
Got Switch thanks to the £299 deal on amazon with pokemon and just dance
Played Pokemon for an hour and thought MEH, will wait for next years one (loved Sun/Moon just 2 years ago). So sold Just Dance and Pokemon at CEX for a combined in credit cost of £86. Then brought Mario Kart 8, Zelda Breath of the Wild!
Bought Super Mario Odyssey on the online store which I'm playing.
In all I got a Switch for £214 last week.
So I'd say my sale for those evergreen titles was more to do with black friday deal than Pokemon. But there is no doubt it is selling systems

MK8D and BOTW are already at nearly 2k for this week thanks to that AO deal alone

Like, just compared to the previous week? It's Black Friday, when a lot of new consoles are being sold, this isn't really mind blowing.
I think they all doubled the previous week too (the week when Pokemon released).
I just picked my copy up last week. It's one of the few games my girlfriend plays, and she is a fucking shark at it!
Kart was up 98% the previous week too. The others less so but still a significant bump.
Same*sigh* ... I wish I could play Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey for the first time again.
Nope, I don't have it and will most likely never buy it. Missing Super Mario Odyssey too, but that one I actually want to buy down the line!

This is me going "I should buy Mario Kart" about once a week, before remembering the price of Nintendo games in Canada.
Me too, especially BotW. With the hype of a new console and the beginning of Zelda where the camera zooms out to show Hyrule...easily still the best gaming experience of the generation for me.
It was going to anyway, it's selling faster without bundles. Pokémon could overtake it maybe.

I hope you enjoy it! BotW especially is one of the most special gaming experiences I have had in a while.
Definitely that as well.
I also don't, I got MK8 when it released on the Wii U when it launched, didn't want to shell out full price for MK8D
