The new week's UK physical game sales charts have been announced, and the first 3D work of Nintendo's popular series "Kirby" has been released on March 25, making the series successfully win the UK weekly sales championship for the first time. This game is also the best selling of the "Kirby" series in the UK, the first sales are 2.5 times that of the previous game "Kirby of the Stars", and this week alone has rushed to the fifth place in the cumulative sales of the entire series.
2K also released the "Borderlands" series of derivatives of the new "Little Tina's Fantasy Land" last week, but the sales of this game are far less than the top of the list of "Kirby Star Discovery", and less than 10% of the first sales of "Borderlands 3" launched in 2019, and the sales of the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, and Xbox One versions accounted for 52%, 25%, 15%, and 8% respectively.
Another new release, Ghost Line: Tokyo, developed by Tango Gameworks, is at no. 11 on the sales charts, 80% lower than the debut sales of the studio's previous work, "Evil Spirit Possession 2", but it should be noted that this is a new IP and the proportion of digital sales has generally increased in recent years.
Last week, the Switch game "Rune Factory 5" also landed in Europe and the United States, and this game is a new work in the series after 8 years, which is 80% higher than the sales of the switch remake launched in 2020 of the previous game "Rune Factory 4".
It is worth mentioning that driven by promotional activities, FIFA 22 sold a sharp increase of 79% last week, returning to the sixth place in the sales list; "New Super Mario Brothers U Deluxe Edition" also rose 113%, back to seventh place.
