As perhaps is expected of the franchise’s history, Kingdom Hearts 3 absolutely dominated on the PlayStation 4, with Sony’s system accounting for 82 per cent of the physical sales. That’s a higher split than last week’s Resident Evil 2, which was already skewed heavily in favour of the Japanese giant’s device. Square Enix’s long-awaited role-playing title naturally topped the charts, with more than double the sales of its direct PlayStation 2 predecessor.
As for the remainder of the Top Ten, it’s pretty much what you’d expect, with the likes of Red Dead Redemption 2, FIFA 19, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 all continuing to perform well. There was only one other big new launch this time, with the tie-in for DreamWorks’ new Dragons movie Dragons: Dawn of New Riders entering in 38th position.

In other news, a bit of a bummer that Super Mario Bros Ultimate, a whole new game from the sound of it, only debuted 8th.
Totally deserves it. No where near finished, but man is it good so far
Im amazed I bothered to pick up KH3.
Its a good game. Bit easy.
But screw me the second anything in a black coat shows up we get digital and parallel universes and people living inside each other and time travel and oh my god.
Someine needs to learn to say no to Nomura because gooooooooood almighty.
Talent always wins.
I have some issues with it, but the wait was worth it.
Nomura has earned himself another 10 years.
@Fight_Sora_Fight Awww, that gif.
@nhSnork Haha, whoops.
Nice to see Microsoft's marketing deals paying off.
@Kidfried A Salty Xbot. 😜
@Kidfried Yeah, "for the weebs", sure. Never heard of Sony's new censorship policy? It is extremely anti weeb. If you're searching for weebs, check out the Switch.
Xbox is still a thing? As a paperweight I guess.
I'm convinced that seeing GTAV still in the UK charts is what the people in Bird Box kept seeing that made them kill themselves.
It seems you can't make a simple joke anymore
@Flaming_Kaiser @Lando_ He was making a joke, you guys definitely jump the gun there sheesh
One week its Crash the next its Sypro!
Good to see though on the fairly predictable UK charts.
@TheMorrigan578 Ah, okay. Thanks for the info. unequips anti Nintendrone and Xbot cannons
@JoeBlogs Kingdom Hearts 3 is not included in the game pass. I own an Xbox and games that were added to the service are mainly old games and those that do get added on release are all indies and games made by Xbox themselves. I think it simply because the vast majority of the KH fan base is on PlayStation and Xbox gamers tend to not buy many Japanese games.
@JoeBlogs
no only microsoft exclusives go there at launch, it might end up there eventually and as mentioned above xbox users for the most part don't like jrpgs
@Lando_ It’s great, isn’t? You can’t help but watch ☺️.
let's be honest we knew most of the sales would be on PS4, same with Final Fantasy games
when people think Kingdom Hearts they think PlayStation (even if Nintendo had more of the games because a lot of people didn't bother with the handheld ones) again same with FF
Veronica from DQXI is boss.
I got it for the Xbox One X, and man it is beautiful. I waited this long, Had to play the definitive version right?
@waluigifan1 Woops. The game plays best on PS4 Pro on a 1080p screen.

I’m sure it’s alright on the X.
@Fight_Sora_Fight Nice article. Never knew the pro had a 1080 mode. However I'll take the extra power. Only time I noticed framedrops was in the pirates world. But even then it wasn't that bad. Pretty sure it looks gorgeous regardless.
Breh.
@Spoiledboy See my post above. Thanks
