Diablo 4 ends Zelda's four-week stay at No.1 | UK Boxed Charts

PlayStation games jump up the charts after a week of sales activity at UK retail

www.gamesindustry.biz

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has finally lost its No.1 status in the UK Boxed Charts.

At four weeks, it is the longest time a game in the series has held the top spot. The Nintendo Switch release saw sales fall 36% over the week before.

That means the new No.1 is Activision Blizzard's Diablo 4. The game didn't sell particularly big numbers at boxed retail, and its launch week sits well behind Zelda, Hogwarts Legacy, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Resident Evil 4 and Dead Island 2. However, as a game that's particularly popular on PC, the vast majority of sales will be via digital download stores. We will receive the digital data later in the week.

In fact, only the console versions received a boxed release, and 67% of physical sales came on PS5, 27% on Xbox Series S and X and 8% on PS4.

Last week's biggest new game was Street Fighter 6, and it slips to No.5 this week with a relatively small 48% drop in sales.

Meanwhile, sales activity on PlayStation games, consoles and bundles have boosted sales of its big games, including first-party titles. God of War Ragnarok is up four places to No.7 (sales up 67%), Gran Turismo 7 is at No.9 (sales up 66%) and Spider-Man: Miles Morales has jumped 23 spots to No.16 (up 95%).

Here is the GfK UK Boxed Top Ten for the week ending June 10, 2023:

	1	Diablo 4
	2	The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Lulu and Bobby keep shitting on the hands that feeds them. Terrible.

GOW and GT7 back in the top 10 after all this time is surprising. Still selling good.

You will see GT7 get a bump every time shipments come in, most likely.

And loving that the MS marketing spend has done fuck all for Diablo IV.

Hogwarts still in there, goodness me its got legs.

It's proof that there's demand for good licensed games, I hope Indiana Jones ends up being just as good

If it is that is still quite bad. Microsoft have marketing rights on Diablo IV, after all. You would think the platform with the marketing rights would get the majority of the sales. Or at least in Xbox's case, bring the ratio closer to 50/50 and see an uptick in console sales.

Neither has happened, and adding in digital won't magically close the gap to be more in Xbox's favor for the game, either.

 

[Shmunter]

The day ms buys Activision is the day it’s value drops 70%+

 

[John Elden Ring]

You would think they wouldnt need an in-game cosmetic shop for all these sales

 

[Sircaw]

It's proof that there's demand for good licensed games, I hope Indiana Jones ends up being just as good

if they can base the game around the feel and humour on the lost ark and Temple of doom, it could be amazing

 

[Plextorage]

How it can be 102%?

 

[Nhomnhom]

ABK IPs do seems to do comparatively much better on Xbox than most other games. Xbox players have awful taste.

To be fair diablo is pretty big regardless
