The latest video game charts for the month of August have come through and it was Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto V which claimed the top spot. In actuality, it was a battle between the newly released Saint’s Row reboot and Rockstar’s classic open world crime game. August saw two Nintendo Switch games in the top ten best-sellers and those were Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Nintendo Switch Sports. It should be noted that Nintendo doesn’t provide eShop sales figures, so we are looking at just physical sales for Switch games. It should also be noted that the two major European markets, Germany and UK, are missing from this data.
