- FIFA 23 (EA)
- Grand Theft Auto 5 (Rockstar)
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Activision Blizzard)
- Red Dead Redemption 2 (Rockstar)

- Nintendo Switch Sports (Nintendo)*
- Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege (Ubisoft)

Games marked with the asterisk are those for which digital data is not available, therefore the actual ranking is a bit different.
It is interesting to note that dead space got off to a better start than The Callisto Protocol in physical sales. It is not possible to make a comparison on the digital data as such information is not known for The Callisto Protocol.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is in third position and continues to achieve better sales than Vanguard, but the slowdown in sales is greater than Black Ops Cold War and the previous Modern Warfare.
Rockstar Games continues to be successful with its “old” games, GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2, of which we have just indicated the worldwide results.
As for the console, 125,000 were placed in the UK in January 2023. Precisely, PS5 is the best-selling with a growth of 98% compared to January 2022. In second position we find Nintendo Switch, which however has seen a decline compared to previous periods. In third position there is therefore Xbox Series X | S. Still speaking of Switch, 61% of sales were obtained from the OLED version.
