Final Fantasy XVI hasn't been out for long, but we already have some sales figures from its opening in the UK, where it has soared to the number 1 spot in the charts.

However, in terms of boxed sales, Final Fantasy XVI hasn't done as well. Physical sales are 74% lower than those of Final Fantasy XV back in 2016. As pointed out by Gamesindustry.biz's Chris Ding, the digital market has become much larger since 2016.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom remains in a strong spot at number 2 in the sales charts this week, with the new Sonic Origins Plus trailing at number 3.
