‘Death Stranding’ Second-Biggest PS4 Title to Launch This Year
Hideo Kojima’s work on Death Stranding has resulted in the title being the second-biggest PlayStation 4 game to launch this year. Coincidentally landing in second place on the UK physical sale charts ending November 9 (behind Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, naturally), Death Stranding is behind only Days Gone for moving the most units on the console on its launch date.
As a result of Death Stranding sales, Nintendo’s fun Luigi’s Mansion 3 (check out our review here) falls from Number 2 to Number 4 this week. EA’s Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville takes the tenth spot to round things out.
Meanwhile, Sony’s flawed but fun remake of MediEvil, which landed in the tenth spot last week, fell to 27th.
