Trends

This week, we’ve seen Nintendo maintain top 20 chart positions, despite falling a number of places across the board. There have been two anomalies in the form of Marvel’s Avengers suddenly entering the charts and Fallen Order almost making it into the top 10, likely due to recent next-gen boxed version upgrades.
