Hogwarts Legacy has remained in first place on the UK retail charts, according to GfK data for the week ending April 19, 2025.

Playstation owners buy games.
Strange seeing Hogwarts there as I downloaded it for my son from PS Plus a couple of days ago.
Not really. It's directly contributed to having the healthiest console and ecosystem. Not really debatable.
The alternative is a console platform holder whose least important customers are the ones who own their console. That's why it's Microsoft games studios now not Xbox in all but name.
Microsoft needs PlayStation, PC and Nintendo players now more than they need Xbox players. They're a dying breed.
Dying breed? that's an understatement, They should add XBox fans on the endangered species list along with white horn rhinos at this point LOL.
1.1m ps5 vs 200k xb in just 1 month on the latest sales report.
Not really. That's why Xbox is going under consoles wise. PS gamers purchase stuff that's why console and game sales are always high. Xbox gamers want games for 'free' on gamepass and to enter at the lowest price point (series s)
@InUrFoxHole said “Playstation owners buy games? That's a wild badge of honor my boy.”
This Tuesday after The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion was finally revealed I saw a tonne of conversation on X/Twitter of people gleefully mocking PS5 owners who said they were buying the game, as they were getting it for free with Game Pass. Yes, that’s great value for people with a Game Pass subscription - but do you still not see how it has impacted the Xbox hardware platform? It’s the reason Indiana Jones and Oblivion and Forza Horizon 5 aren’t exclusive anymore.
2nd on the charts for a game such as Indy ain’t great.
Releasing half year after xbox version probably cooled off some demand.
This is a very good game, deserves the best chance to do well.
The real great performer here is Astrobot. keeping that rate of sales for a last year's game that is not GTAV, CoD and FIFA (now Hogwarts too). outselling MH Wilds and EA FC is kinda wild for Astrobot!
The Last of Us Part 2's Rattlers may have received a comeuppance with Ellie's arrival in Santa Barbara, but the faction could still be of some use.
3DClouds has announced the pirate adventure Trident's Tale will be launching worldwide on May 22nd for Nintendo Switch, Xbox, PlayStation, and PC.
TADA!!!!!!
$15 for the stand? Wow... and it still wobbles with some pressure (albeit not as much).
Never been a vertical person myself, this bad boy will sit horizontally on my TV stand when I do get one.
EDIT - am I getting disagrees because I am placing the console horizontally? Or because I said that even placed vertically with the stand it still moves with a little bit of pressure applied? I am merely repeating what was demonstrated in the video. I was suggesting that the $15 stand wasn't doing much extra that the console on its side did on its own without the stand..
Why would you want to block up the vents? Are you crazy?
Get the stand so that you still have the vents for airflow at the bottom.
And there we have it!
Though, I prefer mine to sit under the unit :P
Unit = British slang for TV table.
But not recommended as it can tip over with a little effort.
The stand supports it better.
