UK Charts: Nioh 2 takes No.1 as Mario Kart 8 races up the charts

PS4 exclusive Nioh 2 was the best-selling physical game at UK retail last week.
The Team Ninja game didn't need to sell a lot of copies to reach No.1 in what is a very quiet time for the physical games market. The title's boxed sales are actually 63% lower than the original (digital data is not included), which reached No.2 back in February 2017.
The action RPG just about held off competition from a resurgent Mario Kart 8: Deluxe, which speeds up the charts as more Switch stock makes it to retail. The kart racer jumped 108% in sales week-on-week.
As a result of this success, last week's No.1 Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX slips to No.3 with a 53% drop in sales week-on-week.
