Nintendo has earned itself another week at number one, as Ghostwire: Tokyo is confirmed as a major flop.

There were no major new entries in this week’s new physical sales charts but the lack of competition shouldn’t take anything away from the achievement of Kirby And The Forgotten Land, which enjoyed an impressively small fall in second week sales of just 43%.

The underpromoted Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands fared even better, with a mere 38% drop, although since the majority of its sales are digital that may flatter its overall performance. There’s no sugar-coating Ghostwire: Tokyo though, which has seen sales fall by 70% as it goes from its debut at number 11 to number 23.

The console version of was the only new entry in the charts this week, at number 40, but next week is guaranteed to see : The Skywalker Saga take the top spot.
