The latest UK software sales chart for the week ending April 18, 2026 confirms two high-profile debuts at retail, with Nintendo and Capcom both placing new releases in the top two.
Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream arrived at number one, while Capcom's Pragmata opened at number two, according to the published weekly rankings.
The chart underscores a busy period for boxed retail across platforms.
Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream led the list as a new Nintendo release, displacing other recent sellers.
Capcom placed strongly as well: Pragmata entered the chart at number two and registered a measurable share on next-generation hardware.
Rewriting the notable sales statements in clear, journalistic terms: the sales data indicate that Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream sold 36 more physical copies than Pokémon Pokopia during the same reporting week.
The same dataset shows that 13 percent of Pragmata's UK sales for the week were attributed to Nintendo Switch 2 hardware.
Beyond the two new entries, the top 10 included Resident Evil Requiem at number three and Tekken 8 at number four, while Elden Ring held the fifth position.
Other established franchises continued to perform in retail: Pokémon Pokopia placed sixth, Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate and the Super Mario Galaxy bundle remained in the top 10, and Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon reappeared in the top 10 as a new entry further down the list.
The broader chart reflects the ongoing strength of Nintendo-branded titles on physical shelves, with multiple first-party entries spread throughout the rankings.
Capcom also posted several placements, from Pragmata and Resident Evil Requiem to earlier catalog entries in the Resident Evil series.
This weekly snapshot focuses on UK boxed software performance for the specified period and provides a clear view of consumer demand at retail.
For publishers and retailers tracking platform uptake, the 13 percent Switch 2 share for Pragmata will be of particular interest as hardware penetration evolves.
Readers can monitor subsequent weekly charts for trends in hardware market share, franchise longevity, and seasonal shifts in UK software sales.
