God of War sales flatten Nintendo Labo's debut

Cut that out.

PlayStation 4 exclusive God of War remains in the UK chart top spot again this week, despite the debut of two Nintendo Labo packs.

Labo, Nintendo Switch's new papercraft accessory system, landed in third place behind God of War and Far Cry 5 for its main £60 Variety Kit, and in 20th place for its £70 robot kit.

It's hard to judge how well Labo has done in comparison to expectations. It's an expensive kit (much of which will be taken up by the cost of the physical Switch game cartridge) but the range feels like one designed to sell continuously over time (and especially over Christmas). For something intended to have a slow sales burn, then, it is off to a decent start.

FIFA 18 was fourth in the chart, ahead of Switch exclusive Mario Kart 8 in fifth place and a heavily discounted Fallout 4 in sixth.

Eurogamer's Nintendo Labo review is still being put together, but you can see what our Aoife and Johnny thought of it all when they had their turn:
