Nintendo Labo has finally been knocked off the top spot as God of War sales continue to surge, while the arrival of the hotly-anticipated Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball 2018 has pushed out everyone with both its PS4 and PS Vita versions nabbing first and second places respectively. Interestingly, the Labo Robot Kit fared worse, dropping from 3rd to 17th!

Splatoon 2 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe have kept their respective places, while Kirby Star Allies drops from fourth to sixth in a single week. The Snack World: TreJarers Gold also had a poor week, dropping from sixth to 11th following a less impressive set of sales.
