Launched on Tuesday on PS4 and PS3 and receiving glowing reviews, ‘Persona 5’ from Atlus/Deep Silver debuts at No1.


It is the first J-RPG (Japanese RPG) to debut at the top of the All Formats Chart since ‘Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch’ back in W5 2013 (‘Final Fantasy XV’ launched at No2, but it had to contend with ‘FIFA 17’). It is by far the biggest launch for a ‘Persona’ title and the first ever All Formats No1 for developer and publisher Atlus. ‘Mass Effect: Andromeda’ slips down to No5 after two weeks at the top, while ‘Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands’ and ‘Lego Worlds’ both hold on to No’s 2 and 3 respectively. Originally released on Wii U back in W13 2013 when it debuted at No12, ‘Lego City Undercover’ comes to PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, pushing it back in to the chart at No8 and giving publisher Warner Bros. two Lego games in the Top 10 and four in the Top 40. Retailer promotions give boosts to ‘Overwatch’ up from No14 to No10 and ‘WWE 2K17’ up from No19 to No13.

The only other new titles to make the Top 40 are ‘Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition’ from Gearbox Publishing/Maximum Games at No23 and ‘Yo-Kai Watch 2: Bony Spirits’ at No36. Sister title ‘Yo-Kai Watch 2: Fleshy Souls’ fails to make the Top 40.

Lego City Undercover on Switch comfortably above the other two versions. Not surprising, most would have 'finished' Zelda by now, and there isn't much else to play.

Great news about Persona 5. Hopefully someone will get the number from somewhere

I actually wouldn't mind buying another switch game, but I'm still no where near finishing Zelda, and I've done over 60 hours. 



PS4 copy of Persona 5 is also sold out at my local, they only have the PS3 copy in stock.



Persona 5 is friggin' amazing, glad to see it doing well!



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

is that table with the shares available for other weeks too or is this a one of? I'd be interested to see it from last week.

I've seen them occassionally in the past but it seems to be erratic. UKIE website is where they'd be, if anywhere.

well maybe you will have it done in time for Mario Kart

i think the average gamer who doesn't go on forums would have finished it by now though



Amazing!!



again, great PS4 title undershipped big time in the west. If u run out of stock in 3-4 days, thats it.
Also, good to see Horizon/Zelda legs.

Yeah either Mario Kart or yooka laylee. I would imagine the average gamer would take even longer though surely we game more then people who don't use forums.

i was thinking the average gamer might do less of the side stuff, but i guess it could go either way
