Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Origins claims the top spot on the week of release but sales are roughly on par with the last instalment, Syndicate. However, the game is generating more revenue than it’s predecessor thanks to the pricey special editions.
Super Mario Odyssey becomes Nintendo’s 6th biggest launch ever and, unsurprisingly, is the biggest game to release on Switch so far. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus manages fourth place, a spot behind FIFA 18, and last week’s number one, Gran Turismo Sport, drops to fifth place just ahead of Grand Theft Auto V which people are still buying.
As it’s silly season the big games are plummeting down the charts just weeks after a release, South Park and The Evil Within 2 take a tumble this week, and it’s not all good news for Ubisoft as Just Dance 2018 only manages to chart at number 23, the majority of the sales for that game were on Nintendo Wii, not Switch.
