Good to see AC being rewarded its a big leap up for the franchise the year off did the game good and the RPG mechanics and storytelling is a much needed improvement.

Maybe, just maybe, it happened because AC Origins was released on 3 different platforms with an install base multiple times larger than Switch's. And Europe doesn't like Nintendo that much outside of France.

This is UK not the whole Europe, UK is a bad market for Nintendo, France and Germany are much better.

I don't think anyone doubts that. Odyssey beat any AC Origins individual version, but combined they outsold Mario. Anyway, the fact that Odyssey put up a fight for the 1st place in the UK is already a good sign. Nintendo games don't sell that well over there.
