PS4 exclusive Ghost of Tsushima was conveniently the most significant selling physical video game in the UK recently.
The action video game didnt come close to matching last months huge PS4 release The Last of United States: Part 2, which is not unexpected. Nevertheless, its boxed launch sales were 7% greater than in 2015s brand-new PS4 IP Days Gone, which is a more equivalent product (although Ghost of Tsushima did score much better with critics).
Ghost of Tsushimas launch sales were four times bigger than the other new game in the charts– Paper Mario: The Origami King for Nintendo Switch. The comedy experience video game still reached No. 2, and its first week sales are bigger than the launch of the last 2 Paper Mario games integrated (2016s Paper Mario: Color Splash on Wii U and 2012s Paper Mario: Sticker Star on 3DS). In reality, its very first week sales directly beat 2007s Super Paper Mario, making this new video game the fastest-selling Paper Mario up until now. In addition, download sales are not included (Super Paper Mario was not offered digitally) and for that reason the Switch game is likely to have actually been conveniently larger than its Wii predecessor.
The brand-new titles suggests F1 2020s remain at the top of the charts is over, with the Codemasters game slipping to No. 3 with a 59% drop in sales. Animal Crossing: New Horizons is at No. 4 and The Last of Us Part 2 is at No. 5, which means we have an uncommon circumstance where every game in the leading 5 was released throughout 2020.
There were no other brand-new titles in the charts this week, although Forza Horizon 3 makes a return to the leading 40 at No. 26, and Super Mario Party has actually leapt back at No. 29.
