No surprises there

The Christmas Top Ten features a glut of great titles, includingCall of Duty: Black Ops 4,Super Smash Bros. Ultimate,Spyro Reignited Trilogy,Marvel’s Spider-Manand yes, of course,Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. Any of which video game fans should be happy to find nestled under the tree tomorrow morning.
Elsewhere in the charts, the Holiday rush saw small sales bursts for games in the LEGO series, as well as wrasslin’ titleWWE 2K19, Sony’sGod of Warand Toys-to-Life titleStarlink: Battle for Atlas, which re-entered the chart at number 27.
