UK Sales Charts: Final Fantasy 16 Sales Way Down, Out of the Top 10 | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Physical sales of Final Fantasy XVI in the UK looked to have slowed down considerably as the title has fallen out of the top 10 completely. Sales across last week place it in 11th position, meaning the likes of Minecraft and last year's Elden Ring sold better than it in the region.

FIFA 23 topped the list, while The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and God of War Ragnarok shared second and third respectively. In fact, this marks another sales increase for the PS5, PS4 exclusive as Kratos and co rise from sixth to the top three. Games like Battlefield 2042, Hogwarts Legacy, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor also feature in the top 10.

Here's the latest top 10 in full.

Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he can be found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.

The whole physical only thing feels quite outdated. Still, with FF having (let’s face it) an aging player base, I’d expect physical sales to be a bit better than some other series.

Good to see TOTK and GOW Ragnarok still in the top 5 ❤️

I've been watching my kid play 16 and honestly 20 hours and 60% done I'm not really feeling it. There's nothing wrong or broken per se, and it's not simply b/c it's not a JRPG, lots of games aren't, we're big Bayonetta and DmC fans, GoW, Horizon, so I don't have a problem w/ action, and this action is pretty good, but there's just no there there and it feels really oddly paced. I watched some NPC woman explain the storyline last night over a map and I was having Xenogears disc 2 flashbacks, and that's not good. Mostly it feels like they took a few fights out of Eldin Ring and stuck them on a Monster
