The latest UK Charts are here and it's a resounding success for the newly released Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, which beats the likes of EA Sports FC 24 and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door to claim the top spot. Naturally, the game fared better on PS5, but the Switch performed admirably, pulling in a total of 27% of the overall sales.
Elsewhere, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Mario Bros. Wonder maintain their presence in the top 10, while Minecraft is just about hanging in there after slipping from number 8 to number 10. Further down the list, Tears of the Kingdom has seen a slight boost in sales to land at number 17, while Mario vs. Donkey Kong climbs the vines to settle in at number 22.
Finally, in what is likely a sign of excitement for the upcoming Luigi's Mansion 2 HD, Luigi's Mansion 3 has re-entered the top 40 to land at position 28.
Here's your look at this week's top 40 in full, with platform breakdowns for all of the titles available on other consoles alongside the Switch:

I'm waiting for Bluey back on Top 40 again. 😊
You can tell Switch owners are annoyed by the sales percentage split for the Switch and I don't blame them, the extra content should have been DLC for those who already own the original game.
Happy to see Vengeance in first (selling mostly on PS5 unsurprisingly, but still almost 1/3 on Switch) and TTYD in third - also Hogwarts Legacy and Wonder still in the top 10, but that's not particularly surprising for the UK charts at this point!
@UltimateOtaku91 In part that could be the case, but I think Vengeance is selling more on PS5 mostly because:
@JohnnyMind and it's the first new SMT hitting PlayStation since Nocturne, too.
@UltimateOtaku91 I got it on ps5 because the game ran like ass in the later areas.
I don't think people on switch are collectively mad about how ATLUS handled the new version's release. It's just way more appealing on the other platforms after experiencing it on switch firsthand. Not that it was unplayable, mind, but the game simply deserves to be played with better performance and visuals..
@UltimateOtaku91 Its just PlayStation being bigger in the UK and most people not double dipping in general. The Japanese preorder numbers were much higher for Switch than PS4 and PS5 as Nintendo is bigger there.
This makes me happy because SMT is far from the generic super accessible stuff that often tops these lists. It gives me hope that people still appreciate something that’s different.
Good timing, I just got my copy in the post like ten minutes ago lol
How nice for it
@UltimateOtaku91 Eh. I'm just happy more people are playing the game.
There's 70% of a new game here in the Vengeance route, what's the same is pretty well touched up (even on Switch, menu loading and whatnot is improved), and all the original game's DLC is included. It's probably the most elaborate re-release from them to date. So it's the one I least mind paying full price for.
Absolutely awesome game, my favourite in about a decade
@gamering This lol. UK and Japan are like complete opposites in platform consumer demographics. The original release could have been dropped day 1 on PlayStation too and it still would have sold better on Sony than Nintendo.
I see 1 game has PC % , why not for the other multiplatform games?
Selling more than twice as much on PS5 compared to Switch, but no surprise there. Switch 2 can't launch soon enough!
