God of War holds fast in the premier spot
Nintendo’s cardboard creativity project, Labo, launched this week and had a pretty good opening run. TheToy-Con Variety Kitlanded straight in at the number three spot of the UK charts, while theRobot Kitdebuted at number twenty. It wasn’t enough to dethrone Sony’s mightyGod of War, however, which ain’t going anywhere anytime soon.
At first glance, Labo has been successful, but not a smash, with news outlets reporting only around 30% of its shipped units sold in its native Japan. However this is a marathon, not a sprint, as Labo as a concept is both an expensive product and a long-haul idea, rather than a new release that needs to go platinum in week one, lest its gets abandoned by the publisher.
Elsewhere in the charts, murder-festFar Cry 5held on to its number two position, whileYakuza 6: The Song of Lifepeakedhard,going from number three to number thirty-nine in one week. The Switch edition ofSouth Park: The Fractured But Wholedebuted just inside the Top Twenty at number nineteen.
