This means has slipped down a fair few places, swapping with the Polyphony Digital to sit at seventh. Your usual Nintendo favourites are all still here: and have dropped one place, and clings on to tenth. and have leaped back into the top ten, however, with a huge bump in sales of 86% and 41% respectively for their PS5 versions alone. Sounds like everyone's beaten and is going back to pick up things they missed, or some old favourites?

Comments ) Well I guess that Horizon has been out for a couple of weeks now so it must have been discounted.
A big shipment of PS5 stock + bundles arrived. That's why a bunch of PS5 games got big sales boosts. @westman89 any info on what way the LEGO sales are split by platform? I feel like at this point people buy GTA 5 and Mario Kart 8 on a weekly basis like it's part of their grocery shopping list. It's nice to see GTA V back in the chart, it's been a while If it was anything like my local area today Kirby was completely sold out... maybe it is the same in the UK? Just something I noticed when I was out and about. Kirby already part of a sale for AUD$40 from one of our major retailers here in Australia. Don't know if it is overstocking or what but Nintendo stuff seems to always be easily available in Australia. In the UK we had some good PS5 drops
It did the trick games wise. I take it there was an increase in PS5 stocks.
In the UK including physical & digital it was something like
PlayStation 39%
Xbox 34%
Switch 27% If I had to pick one game series that I would not let anyone under 18 play, it'd probably be GTA, so I really don't want to know what kind of cultural impact GTA V has had after sticking near the top of the charts for nearly a decade straight. The fact that Kirby is even still in the top ten is impressive. I expected it to make a brief appearance after launch week before disappearing. I never like Western franchises such as Star Wars, Marvel, Harry Potter, etc.
And thus I only like LEGO CITY UNDERCOVER. I was in Target yesterday and could not decide which of these to get. Literally standing in front of an endcap display unable to decide. I let two random teenagers make the choice for me. We chose Lego Star Wars. May the Force be with us all. Elden ring only on 8. I dug Lego Star Wars, it's the first Lego title I've paid full price for since the original Lego Star Wars titles. Lotsa content by folks who clearly love the source material thank you for your replies Good game.. but far too glitchy. Not only did I get two crashes, but it also randomly deleted my save data..
This was on PS5, mind you, but still very much annoying. I sold it and probably won't get back into it.. Shame, it was good while it lasted. Skywalker Saga is the best Lego game I've played out of all of them. I've been playing the Lego games since the first Lego Star Wars came out and was never really that bothered about them but this game I am particularly impressed with. I finished it on PS5 with no issues at all. Sorry that happened to you. According to Christopher Dring from GameIndustryBiz last week LSW sold best on Playstation and this week it sold best on Switch which apparently is a regular pattern. Lego games start better on other platforms but in the end the Switch version sells the best as the games have longer legs on the platform. I'm sure the release on several platforms helped A LOT here.
Meanwhile, I'm waiting for a 2nd hand copy of LSW for a good price, which is gonna happen sooner or later. For somebody who already enjoyed the complete collection, it can be more than enough. interesting, thanks
Yeah, I guess I just got really unlucky. Oh well, I'm busy with BotW on Switch now anyway - and enjoying it far more than before! Considering that Kirby is a relatively short experience it doesn't surprise me that the game doesn't have legs. Appropriate since Kirby doesn't really have them either. Looks like Horizon Forbidden West is not going #1 right now. Welp, next Playstation game. Sad Kirby will soon be forgotten while Grand Theft Auto V makes an un-surprising return.
