The Christmas holidays ended with an acute shortage in the UK of Switch consoles and some boxed versions of popular projects in early 2023. Some retailers began to replenish their stocks only two weeks ago, and in most large chains of the country deliveries were restored in full only now.
One of the Nintendo games, which for some time was not on the shelves of British stores (in our country, it will return to sale around late April – early May 2023), became Ring fit adventurewhere users perform various fitness exercises using a unique ring accessory. Now the game’s supplies in the UK have resumed and she immediately jumped to the 7th line of the British physical sales charts, showing incredible dynamics (+ 822% compared to the previous week) The same picture was observed in the case of the Switch version Minecraft. The popular sandbox was outside the TOP-40, then returned to the charts on the twenty-fifth line, and sales jumped by 197% in the reporting week allowed it to settle in sixth position.
