UK Sales Charts: Monster Hunter: World Is Apex Predator for a Second Week

Giant crown

by Stephen Tailby Mon 5th Feb 2018

We already know that Monster Hunter: World is enjoying very healthy sales, and it seems the game will be sticking around in the charts for a little while. It's in the top spot once more, stealing the spotlight from UFC 3, which debuts in second place.

Dragon Ball FighterZ is also still performing well, though it has dropped a few places in its second week. The other new entry is Dissidia Final Fantasy NT, which enters the UK chart in ninth position. There isn't a whole lot more to talk about this week; evergreen titles like FIFA 18 and Grand Theft Auto V are still going strong, even alongside some notable launches. Here's the top ten in full.

UK Sales Charts: Week Ending 3rd February, 2018

EA Sports UFC 3
Call of Duty: WWII
FIFA 18
Grand Theft Auto V
Dragon Ball FighterZ
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Any game that is able to stay ahead of GTAV in the UK charts for more than one week is a success.

MonHun only dropped by 40% or so which means word of mouth is working in its favour.

This game is going to do VERY well for itself.

But but "nintendo experts" said it was Doomed to fail because it wasn't in a nintendo handheld system.

I think the timing of Mon Hun’s release was well done. Good on them for getting it out there before the onslaught of games later this year.

@Derpie1 Maybe sony will have exclusive dlc and promotion like cod and destiny, but I don't think capcom want its premiere series goes exclusive again.

@wiiware they prob can do well enough on PlayStation as it can attract a Japanese audience unlike if it was exclusive to Xbox... but it can also attract a Western audience w the right timing + enough marketing it can sell.
