Sales of Kingdom Hearts III in British retail collapsed by 87% in the second week

And this allowed Red Dead Redemption 2 to take the lead again.

Kingdom Hearts III
Retail sales of Kingdom Hearts III in the UK decreased by 87%.

The game was in third place in the ranking on February 3-9.

Prior to that, the game from Square Enix managed to displace another novelty from the first line for a week — Resident Evil 2. Survival horror from Capcom was the leader in the British chart on January 20-26. Now, after a 67% decline in sales, it is again one line below Kingdom Hearts III.

Now the chart is headed by Red Dead Redemption 2. This is her sixth week in the leaders of British retail — but the first in the coming year. To beat the recent leaders, the cowboy blockbuster from Rockstar needed only a 14% increase in sales.

Recall that major releases are expected next week: Metro Exodus, Far Cry: New Dawn and Crackdown 3. After that, the arrangement in British retail will change significantly, writes Gamesindustry.biz .
