In fact, the only newcomer this week is Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Familia Myth – Fullland of Water and Light, a game that is almost certainly an early contender for the longest title of 2025. Still, it looks pretty fun if you want to check out some gameplay videos over on YouTube.
Suikoden I & II Remaster falls down to number three this week, which allows Super Mario Party Jamboree to once again climb the ranks to land at number two. Meanwhile, the rest of the top ten is made up of evergreen titles that, at this point, we're not surprised to see.
Except maybe Donkey Kong Country Returns HD; we thought that one would fall off a cliff after just a few weeks. Fair play, Nintendo.
For the full breakdown, here's a look at the latest top ten:
| Position | Game | Platform | Unit Sales (10th - 16th Mar) | Total Unit Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Monster Hunter Wilds | PS5 | 40,632 | 742,869 |

| 4 | Donkey Kong Country Returns HD | Switch | 6,938 | 232,050 |
| 5 | Minecraft | Switch | 5,851 | 3,832,963 |

The PS5 has once again topped the hardware charts this week with a further 19,262 unit sales. However, if we combine the sales across all three SKUs, the Switch actually managed to outsell the PS5 by just 35 units. PS5 managed a total of 27,863, while Switch managed 27,898. What a heated battle!
We know the tide will turn in Nintendo's favour even more when the Switch 2 launches. But goodness, if we keep getting these kinds of figures in the coming weeks, it's going to be a thrilling race until the big launch.
