Last month was a bit of a slow month and I realized way too late that April's results aren't up yet. So I am going to go back through and work on that within the next few days. But I won't let that hold up May's results! Don't pay too much attention to the previous month totals because I want to double check my math. Rhythm Heaven does retain its throne for another month. While 007 gets the biggest boost, the fact that Forza managed to get a higher vote in last months thread led to it being the highest ranked game releasing this month. Highest debut is a tie between Dragonball Xenoverse 3 and Metro 2039!

"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."
