According to GamesIndustry.biz‘s Chris Dring, gross sales for the boxed model had been 74% decrease than that of Final Fantasy XV again in 2016. Granted, digital gross sales are exponentially extra common in 2023, nevertheless it’s nonetheless meals for thought.

Elsewhere, Sonic Origins Plus makes its debut at quantity three, regardless of the reasonably controversial resolution from Sega to maintain all extra content material on a downloadable code. The new model provides Amy as a playable character in all titles, Knuckles as a playable character in Sonic CD, and twelve Game Gear video games accessed through the Museum menu.

We’ve additionally bought two different new titles this week, although you would be forgiven for lacking their respective launches. Aliens: Dark Descent lands at quantity eleven, whereas Crash Team Rumble manages to creep in at quantity fifteen.
