Strong debut for Lego DC Super-Villains
This week saw the launch of Banda Namco’sSoulcalibur VI,a character creation toolthat also has some sort of fighting game attached. Despite the endless possibilities and some genius ideas already demonstrated by the community,SCVIfailed to break the Top Five of the UK Charts, the latest victim of plummeting high street sales.
That’s not to say thatSCVIperformed badly, just that it has possibly joined the growing trend of digital sales far outweighing the physical sales of popular games’ new releases. Activision’sCall of Duty: Black Ops 4has secured its place at the top of the charts, awaiting its greatest challenger in the form of Rockstar’sRed Dead Redemption 2.
Elsewhere in the charts, Warner Bros. Interactive’s latest in their endless run of Lego titles,LEGO DC Super-Villains, made a strong debut at number six. Ubisoft’s Toys-to-Life space explorer,Starlink:Battle for Atlaslanded at number 14. Of no surprise to anybody, over 80% ofStarlink’ssales were for the Nintendo Switch version, which features exclusiveStar Foxcontent. Figures. (literally).
But better close the storm doors, drop the blinds, and get the kids out of the street. The Top Five of the UK Charts is looking pretty impenetrable, but come next week, it’s High Noon.
