Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze Slams Into The UK Charts
This week’s game charts highest new entry is Nintendo’s Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze for Wii U.
The number one spot is claimed again by The Lego Movie: The Videogame as it enjoys some half term sales, Rayman Legends – debuting on PS4/Xbone didn’t quite fair so well, with the Xbox One version failing to chart.
This is also the first time a Wii U third party game has outsold a next gen counterpart, with Lego on Wii U sitting seven places ahead of its Xbox One competitor.
Considering a Wii U title’s appearance in the UK charts is somewhat of a rarity, this is pretty good going for Nintendo’s troubled home console.
