Early UK sales data shows Spider-Man and Mario dominating the physical charts, with digital sales expected to be even better.
Spider-Man 2 – customers seem to prefer black suit Spidey over Elephant Mario This past Friday on October 20, the two biggest games of the month – Spider-Man 2 and Super Mario Bros. Wonder – launched opposite one another, with both Sony and Nintendo apparently unafraid of the competition. While many gamers no doubt had to choose one or the other, both games are so far runaway successes, which isn’t too surprising given the popularity of their respective stars.
Wonder, Dring notes it’s had the third biggest launch for a Mario platformer in the UK, losing out only to Super Mario Odyssey and the Super Mario 3D All-Stars collection. Again, this is only taking into account physical sales. Combined with digital, Dring speculates Wonder could be ‘the biggest Mario platform game launch in the UK ever.’ Super Mario Bros Wonder is at No.2 in the UK physical charts. Itâs the fifth biggest boxed launch of 2023.
