Anthem is still the leader of the UK chart, although its sales have fallen by 71%
In the release week, Anthem soared to the very top of the UK chart, despite low sales and a barrage of criticism from players and the media. In the second week, Anthem sales fell by 71% — but even after that, the game retains its leadership in the top.
Anthem is the lowest rated title from BioWare, as well as the cause of scandals that broke out before the release. The game has already become famous for its bugs and performance problems at the demo stage. At the same time, many realized that the game was simply not ready for release. Nevertheless, Anthem feels quite confident in the UK chart, writes Gamesindustry.biz .
