Marvel’s Spider-Man 2: A Web-Slinging Triumph for PlayStation!
Spidy Swings Past Super Mario in UK Sales Showdown
Spider-Man 2 tops UK sales, besting Super Mario Bros.
Move over Avengers, there’s a new hero in town! Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has swung into action on PlayStation and it’s a massive hit! The game had a jaw-dropping debut, with physical copies flying off the shelves in the UK. Seriously, if you blinked, you probably missed out on getting your hands on one. That’s how fast it sold!
Insomniac Games has done it again, creating a sequel that has become the fourth-biggest UK boxed game launch of 2023 (Sorry, EA Sports FC, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and Hogwarts Legacy). This game is giving the competition a run for their money!
Now, you might be wondering, what does this mean for our beloved hero in red and blue? Well, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, the exclusive game for the Nintendo Switch, had to settle for second place this week. But come on, we all know Mario is like that steady turtle in Mario Kart, always catching up in the long run. Nintendo games have a knack for selling consistently over time. It’s like they have a permanent Mushroom power-up!
But let’s not forget, Mario had his own moment to shine. The launch sales of Wonder were nothing short of impressive, landing it the title of the third-biggest boxed Mario launch in the UK. Mario knows how to make an entrance, that’s for sure!
Now, let’s talk numbers—because numbers don’t lie, right? Well, actually, in this case, they can be a bit tricky. Sales of Spider-Man 2 might be down compared to its predecessor, but keep in mind, we’re in a different console generation now. The gaming world has gone bananas for digital downloads, making it hard to make proper comparisons. It’s like trying to measure the length of Spider-Man’s web against a rubber band. They just don’t stretch the same way!

Don’t worry, though. We’ll soon have the scoop on the UK’s digital sales data. It’s like waiting for that DLC to drop—exciting, but nerve-wracking at the same time!
As for Mario, his real test will come in the long run. We all know that plumber is in it for the long haul. The holiday season and the coming year will be the ultimate challenge. Will Mario keep stomping on Goombas and racking up sales? Or will the arrival of Switch 2 throw a wrench in his plans? Maybe we’ll even play the game via some fancy backwards compatibility next year. Anything is possible in the gaming universe!
Now, let’s grab our controllers and keep playing, folks! Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is web-slinging its way to victory, and Mario is ready to jump into action. It’s an exciting time to be a gamer!
