Star Wars is an unstoppable force. Unless, of course, Pokémon counts as the competition. Pokémon Sword debuted at number one on the UK?s physical sales charts for the week ending November 16th. Meanwhile, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order entered the sales charts at number two. Interestingly enough, the pocket monsters topped the charts three-fold, thanks to Pokémon Shield?s landing in the number three spot and Pokémon Sword and Shied: Dual Edition?s taking number seven. Near the bottom of the top 10 sits Death Stranding, which tumbled to eighth place in its second week on the market.
This serves as a solid first week for the Star Wars entry, earning it a place as the UK?s fourth biggest physical release of 2019. Yet, its sales failed to meet those of 2017?s Star Wars Battlefront II launch. According to GamesIndustry.biz, Fallen Order?s opening week numbers are 33 percent less than those of DICE?s multiplayer title. EA anticipated this, though, fully aware that Fallen Order?s narrative-centric experience wouldn?t reach the sales success of an online adventure.
