It was a good week for Nintendo this week, as a string of new Switch releases made their presence known in the UK Charts, though all of these titles ultimately failed to dislodge Electronic Arts FIFA 20<\/em> from the top slot, which it has now held for four weeks.<\/p> CD Projekt Red’s Switch port of The Witcher III: Wild Hunt<\/em><\/a> debuted at number four, followed up by the bendy wheel shenanigans of Ring Fit Adventure<\/em>. Minecraft<\/em> for Switch also returned to the Top Ten at number 6, while Blizzard’s Overwatch<\/em><\/a> fell just outside at number 11. Oddly enough, the highest selling Switch title this week was none of these releases, but 2017’s Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/em><\/a>, which revved back into the number two slot. The debuting Plants Vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville<\/em><\/a> launched at number seven.<\/p> While FIFA 20<\/em> maintains its place upon the throne, the likelihood is that this will all come to and end next week. October 25 sees the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare,<\/em> practically guaranteed to debut at number one, and sit there for quite some time afterwards, such is the way of the winter charts.<\/p> U.K. video game sales chart<\/strong> w\/e: October 19, 2019
