Doing rather better, and in a much shorter space of time, is Kingdom Hearts III which has managed to ship over 5 million copies since it launched just a few days ago. This makes it the fastest selling game in the franchise by a considerable margin.

Next up to toot their own trumpets are developers Rare with Craig Duncan tweeting that their player base is “super healthy”.
