Titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (which was the third best-selling overall game in the UK for March), 1-2 Switch and Super Bomberman R were stated as the main software sellers.
Meanwhile, the PS4 – bolstered by releases like Horizon: Zero Dawn, Ghost Recon Wildlands, Nier: Automata and Mass Effect: Andromeda garnered more than 800,000 software sales for March.
