UK chart data is now in (a little later than usual) for the week ending 9th March, revealing that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/a><\/strong> has managed to drift, boost, and presumably red shell its way back to third place.<\/p>\n

Capcom’s Devil May Cry 5<\/strong> takes the honours this week, with Anthem<\/strong> being knocked off top spot and actually dropping all the way down to fourth place. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s rise, which sees it leap no less than five places, arrives despite sales actually being 4% lower this week than last. This week was a little slower in terms of sales all around.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, The Lego Movie 2 Videogame<\/a><\/strong> managed to stay in the top ten in its second week, but Trials Rising<\/a><\/strong> has been knocked out and down to 27th.<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at this week’s top ten all formats chart (physical sales only):<\/p>\n

1. (New) Devil May Cry 5
2. (5) Red Dead Redemption 2<\/strong>
3. (8) Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
