The latest UK boxed charts data is in, and it's a resounding victory for Star Fox on Switch 2, which shoots to the top in its debut week. A lot of retailers had some compelling launch prices for the game that no doubt helped to fuel the physical sales, with many undercutting Nintendo's digital price significantly.

Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition also made its physical debut on the Switch at number 12 this week, with PS5 just about taking the lion's share with 56% of the platform split.

Worryingly, it seems The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales has tumbled out of the top 40 altogether after enjoying sixth position in its first week. Granted, it's definite a niche title, but we'd have expected it to hang around a little bit longer.

Star Fox franchise First Week Sales in UK (Physical)

Star Fox Command (Week 4, 2007) - 3.500
Star Fox 64 3D (Week 36, 2011) - 6.900
Star Fox Zero (Week 16, 2016) - 6.100
Star Fox (Week 27, 2026) - 11.800 (~23.000 + Digital estimates)

Xbox is almost irrelevant there.

Thank you Star Fox! This is the start we need for consistent releases in the future! So glad the word of mouth on this game has been so positive!

Looks like Starfox is going to be another "surprise" sales hit for Nintendo for worldwide. The game is currently charting Nr 1 on Amazon US top sellers video games and others stores around the word.

SUCK IT HARD, STAR FOX DOUBTERS AND HATERS!

This just proves how bad Iwata fucked up with the franchise and how Nintendo fanboys, under damage control mode, tried to paint Star Fox as niche and irrelevant franchise.

Good for Starfox. Shame about Elliot.

It deserves it. Great remake!
