The latest UK video game software charts are now in and it is the excellent Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition for the Nintendo Switch which has taken the No.1 spot this week. Borderlands: Legendary Collection for Nintendo Switch entered at No.18 and BioShock: The Collection for Switch entered the charts at No.22. The recently released Minecraft Dungeons, which is multiplatform, was not sold physically as it was a digital only release, so it isn’t in the charts. The XCOM 2 Collection for Switch was also digital only and so not included.
The remake of the Wii RPG sold more than double that the original managed back in August 2011. Its sales are slightly below that of the launch of 2017’s Xenoblade Chronicles 2, which arrived on Switch during the Christmas sales window.
