Three weeks after the game’s initial release, Resident Evil: Village reclaims the top spot on the UK charts despite experiencing a decline in sales.
Resident Evil: Village ruled the boxed deals when the game appeared at the beginning of May. The game lost its lead to Mass Effect: Legendary Edition in week two; however, it is currently back on top in the UK.
Sales of Mass Effect: Legendary Edition sank to third place behind Resident Evil and the Switch port of Miitopia. Resident Evil: Village figured out how to recover the best position regardless of losing 60% of deals from the previous week. As indicated by gamesindustry.biz, RE: Village sold best on PlayStation consoles, continuing the pattern from opening week. The PS4 and PS5 individually represented 44% and 29% of the game’s deals. Note that these numbers just mirror the offer of plate duplicates, not advanced downloads.
Resident Evil’s re-visitation of number one had more to do with Mass Effect’s hailing numbers instead of a startling spike in sleeper deals. Mass Effect: Legendary Edition lost 76% of its deals since opening week. Like Resident Evil: Village, it sold best on PlayStation Consoles, with the PS4 representing 72% of actual duplicates sold. This lopsidedness might be partly ascribed to the first deliveries not being available on the PS4. While it missed the mark regarding deposing Resident Evil: Village, Miitopia saw an exceptionally fruitful launch in the UK.
The Switch port sold 30% a larger number of duplicates than the game’s unique presentation on the 3DS in 2017. Insect Man: Miles Morales and Animal Crossing: New Horizons balanced the remainder of the UK’s best five merchants. The previous saw a significant spike because of the expanded accessibility of PS5s in the United Kingdom. A full 88% of duplicates sold were for Sony’s next-gen console. Switch titles ruled the second 50% of the top ten. Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury got the #6 spot, with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe at #8, Minecraft for Switch at #9, and New Pokémon Snap at #10.
The solitary exemption was Grand Theft Auto 5, which rose to the #7 spot on the UK sales charts. Concerning other new deliveries, the comfort release of Rust appeared at #11. It sold somewhat better on PS4 yet was effective on the two consoles. In the meantime, Subnautica: Sub Zero sank to the fourteenth spot in the wake of appearing at #5 in the UK. No other new deliveries made it into the British top 40.
Resident Evil: Village is now available on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S.
