Game filled with violence, metal and sexy characters sells well
This week, Capcom pulled out twin guns, straddled its giant motorcycle, set fire to its own clothes, hit the throttle, and rode that fucker into the sun, as batshit hack ‘n’ slash adventureDevil May Cry 5released to amazing critical and fan acclaim. Of no surprise to anybody, this reception has translated to sales, allowing the sequel to debut at number one in the UK Charts.
Devil May Cry 5ended the two-week reign of controversial EA releaseAnthem, which now sits at number four. Both Rockstar’sRed Dead Redemption 2and Nintendo’s never-say-die racerSuper Mario Kart 8 Deluxealso made yet another play for the top, climbing to numbers two and three respectively. After debuting at number 21, Koei Tecmo’sDead or Alive6has left the Top 40 entirely.
Elsewhere in the charts, perennial entryGrand Theft Auto Vhasonce againpushed its way back into the Top 10, while a price drop on Blizzard’s brilliant dungeon-crawlerDiablo III: Eternal Collectionpushed it back into the Top 40 at number 29. Capcom’s remake ofResident Evil 2sits comfortably at number 12, while Square Enix’Kingdom Hearts IIIpushes back into the upper tier at number 20.
