OK so this is absolutely fascinating, because just like last week we're getting another newcomer at number one — but not any old indie darling; it's **007 First Light** from IO Interactive claiming the gold in its debut week! What really gets me excited is how much momentum they've built up: last week was LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight holding down the top spot, and now 007 has literally bumped them to second. And then there's Yoshi and the Mysterious Book taking a tumble from third all the way down to sixth in its second week, while our dear Tomodachi Life — this month's golden child with people practically worshipping it — has fallen off the grid completely! I've been waiting for these Switch 2 dates like crazy since Nintendo teased us months ago, and seeing established games already charting across platforms is exactly what we need.
The platform breakdowns are *incredible* right now if you want to see where gaming's going: Pokémon Legends: Z-A at the top has Split with a massive **54% Switch vs 46% Switch 2**, Super Mario Bros. Wonder sits around **57%/43%** in our favour for Switch, and Animal Crossing is almost identical at **63%/37%** — all showing that Nintendo fans are genuinely migrating to the new platform while still supporting original hardware. Meanwhile Resident Evil Requiem's got a wild split: PC 64%, PS5 29%, with Switch 2 barely hanging in there at just 6% and Xbox Series at only 2%. And oh my god, check out **Indiana Jones and the Great Circle** debuting as entry #33 where it's sitting literally at **Switch 2: 97%**! That tells you something major about how early adopters are approaching Nintendo platforms. Hogwarts Legacy just charted on Switch 2 alone with a massive **64%**, while Grand Theft Auto V remains firmly old-school with its legacy distribution still intact, and Minecraft continues to be the ultimate platform agnostic title — I love seeing both sides of this transition happening at once in real time!
For us watching carefully what comes next: Resident Evil 5 (entry #27) is a fresh debut hitting that top-30 slot solidly, Super Mario Party Jamboree has an even distribution with **60% Switch and 40% Switch 2**, Donkey Kong Bananza held its ground at entry 19 without much shifting around it despite being in the lower tier — these are all indicators of how different titles age across platforms. I'm particularly excited about upcoming releases from GfK's compiled data since Monster Hunter Wilds, Assassin's Creed Shadows (which itself is splitting nicely between PS5 52%, Switch 2 at a solid 32% and Xbox Series), and Crimson Desert are all fresh entries already making waves in the chart. The real takeaway for me? Innovation truly does beat legacy sometimes — just look how 007 First Light has taken this week's top spot while LEGO Batman slides back to second, suggesting that strong storytelling combined with next-gen polish is what actually moves units on Switch platforms as we approach the full transition period!
