Windows Central’s take

These placings all make a lot of sense, especially since we already knew that Diablo 4 was a huge hit. I’ll be very curious to see which games have legs come July and August, and which ones fall off faster. It’s also going to be very interesting to see how Activision Blizzard titles ramp up Xbox revenue when the acquisition is (hopefully?)completed later this year.

Diablo 4Can anyone stand against the unending demonic threats? You can, and many others have already done so, leading to amazing first-month sales for Blizzard’s hack-and-slash RPG adventure.Buy from:Amazon|Xbox|Best Buy|Battle.net (PC)

If you haven’t yet grabbed Microsoft’s latest console, this bundle is the perfect opportunity. You can get Blizzard’s upcoming action-RPG at the same time, providing hundreds of hours of fun running at 4K 60 FPS on your new high-end system.
