It’s been a relatively quiet and uneventful week for video game boxed sales in the UK, as per data provided for retail sales by UKIE/GfK Chart-Track (via GamesIndustry) for the week ending May 4. Last week, Days Gone and Mortal Kombat 11 were the two major new releases, with the former taking the top spot- and in the process of doing so, also becoming UK’s biggest retail launch for game in 2019 so far.
This week, the two games have retained the very same positions, sitting on top of the pile. Days Gone has seen 60 per cent drop in sales, while Mortal Kombat 11 sees a 74 per cent drop from last week. The next two positions also see no changes, with FIFA 19 and Red Dead Redemption 2 still occupying third and fourth place respectively. In fifth place, though, the perennially successful Grand Theft Auto 5 has jumped up from last week’s eleventh spot.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe remains unmoved at sixth place, while New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe jumps up from ninth to seventh. The Division 2 has seen a bit of a dip, falling from last week’s fifth spot to eighth place this week. Forza Horizon 4 continues its upward climb, going from ninth to tenth, while Anthem has managed to break into the top 10 once again.
