Don't think there's any info on the Americas or Europe just yet! And for those wondering, the banner is about the best selling games on all consoles for that week, that's why KH2.8 is 2nd on the NZ side but it was 1st for PS4!

Nice to see KH doing so well on PS4!
Some days ago GfK released the UK's sales numbers from that week (from all consoles and only taking retail into account, digital was not tracked) and KH 2.8 came out in the 3rd spot: UK Chart: Resident Evil 7 Sells 73% of Copies on PS4
Personally I think its really surprising how even with little publicity KH 2.8 managed to climb into the Top 3 of best selling games for that week on 4 different countries including Japan, New Zealand, Australia and UK. And taking into account how well its doing digitally on the US I think we could also expect it to be on the Top 3 there!

do you ever wonder if Bilbo Baggins played KH?


(it really blows me away how well GTA V is still selling. Rockstar delivered that high quality product)
