Fire Emblem: Three Houses tops UK sales charts

According to a report from Ukie, the brand new Nintendo Switch exclusive Fire Emblem: Three Houses has found itself a very comfortable spot at the top of the UK charts.

The latest instalment in the Fire Emblem series managed to beat Wolfenstein: Youngblood to the number one spot, which is deeply impressive for a platform-exclusive game.

As GamesIndustrybiz’s Christopher Dring reports, Three Houses has sold ‘almost double’ the launch sales of 2013’s Fire Emblem Awakening.

It’s also sold more than double the combined sales of the first two Fire Emblem Fates games, which were released in the West in 2016.

Dring also points out that the game was ‘comfortably’ number one, as it managed more than double the boxed sales of Wolfenstein: Youngblood.

It was comfortably No.1, too. It managed more than double the boxed sales of Wolfenstein: Youngblood, which made No.2
