The only PS4 titles in the top 10 are Days Gone in seventh place, and Assassin’s Creed 3 Remastered debuting in tenth place, with sales of over 4,500 and 3,700 copies respectively. All the other games in the top 10 are Switch titles, including the likes of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2, New Super Mario Bros.
