It's another blockbuster launch for Pokémon this week, with Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl taking the top two positions in the UK charts.
The remakes of the classic DS titles are comfortably the biggest Switch game launches of the year, beating Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury -- in fact, Brilliant Diamond achieves that alone, without even counting Pearl sales. Brilliant Diamond takes the No.1 position, followed by Shining Pearl at No.2, while the double pack featuring both games lands at No.9.
The Pokémon games combined are the second biggest boxed game launch of the year, behind FIFA 22 but ahead of Call of Duty: Vanguard.
Compared with other mainline Pokémon releases on Switch, launch sales are 26% down over Sword and Shield, which were the big new Pokémon games released in November 2019. Sales are up 13% over the Let's Go Eevee and Pikachu games, which were released back in November 2018.

"Pokémon Brilliant Diamond is the biggest Switch game launch of the year (boxed sales) in the UK, and that's without counting Pearl. Comfortably ahead of Mario 3D World, Monster Hunter Rise and Zelda: Skyward Sword.
"Combined together, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl's boxed launch sales are the second biggest of the year across all platforms, only beaten by the multiplatform FIFA 22.
"To put Pokémon to scale. Pokémon Shining Pearl alone (the weakest selling of the two) has already sold more copies in 1 week (UK boxed sales) than Metroid Dread has managed to sell since it came out 7 weeks ago."
