For the third consecutive week, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare reigned supreme on the physical UK sales charts. Consequently, Death Stranding debuted in the number two position. It is certainly not a bad first outing, especially when stacked against a brand-new Call of Duty entry. However, Kojima?s latest did fail to reach the heights that Bend Studio?s Days Gone achieved earlier in the year. Death Stranding?s debut on the UK sales chart makes it the second-biggest launch for a PlayStation exclusive in 2019.
According to GamesIndustry.biz, Days Gone takes the lead on this front by quite the large margin. Sales of Death Stranding during its launch period were 36 percent less than that of the Oregon-set apocalyptic title. But the Norman Reedus-starring experience from Kojima won the day in other ways. Notably, it released alongside three other new titles and represents the best-selling of the bunch, beating out the likes of Need for Speed: Heat and Fortnite: Darkfire Bundle.
