The recently released Super Smash Bros Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch has become the fastest-selling game in the series in the UK so far.
In addition, the new brawler is also the fastest-selling Switch title so far, thereby surpassing the combined launch sales of Pokémon: Let's Go Pikachu and Pokémon: Let's Go Eevee. Interesting to note is that digital downloads haven’t been included in the sales data – only physical sales are included.
As reported by GamesIndustry.biz, Super Smash Bros Ultimate’s “launch sales are 302 per cent higher than the numbers achieved by Super Smash Bros for Wii U and they're 233 per cent higher than Super Smash Bros for 3DS”. Launch sales are also 62.5 per cent higher than the Wii game Super Smash Bros Brawl. All of which means Ultimate is the fastest-selling Smash Bros game in the franchise's UK history.”
Super Smash Bros Ultimate is available now for the Nintendo Switch. Nintendo officially confirmed the game back in March of this year. Prior to its release, Nintendo released a day-one update for the game.
