Excelsior! With Spider-Man under Sony’s wing, the web-swinger has managed to achieve things Activision couldn’t. Not only is it the fastest selling Spider-Man game ever, but also the fastest selling Marvel game of all-time.
Chart-Track also notes that it had the biggest launch – in terms of individual format sales – since the PS4 version of Call of Duty: WWII. Reading between the lines, this means it had an even stronger launch than God of War. Now that’s amazing.
Despite a somewhat muted launch, Dragon Quest XI is off to a good start too, taking #2 in both the all-formats top 40 and the PS4 chart.
Destiny 2: Forsaken made #8, meanwhile. The individual format chart reveals sales between the PS4 and Xbox One versions were close.
That’s it for new releases this week, although Punch Line did manage to top the PS Vita top ten while SNK Heroines Tag Team Frenzy entered at bottom position (#20) in the Switch chart.
Rewinding back to the all-formats top ten, GTA V held onto #3 while F1 2018 dropped from the top spot to take #4.
Crash Bandicoot fell one place to #5, PES 2019 dropped to #6 during its second week on sale, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is at #7, PUBG fell to #9 – despite leaving early access last week – while LEGO The Incredibles re-entered the top ten at #10.
