After three weeks of anticipation, we’re thrilled to dive back into the world of French video game sales! This update covers Weeks 22 through 24 and showcases some fascinating trends in buying habits. One thing that really stands out is Nintendo’s continued dominance, “driving” the top five spots with fan-favorite titles like *The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom* and *Mario Kart 8 Deluxe*. Even during the exciting release week of *Diablo IV*, which claimed three spots for itself, Nintendo’s games still held strong as market leaders. Despite *Street Fighter 6*’s impressive start at number two, it couldn’t stay ahead of Link’s latest adventure for long. However, once *Diablo IV* hit the scene, both Capcom’s brawler and Blizzard’s action RPG quickly faded from view. By Week 24 (June 12-18), *F1 23* was shining bright again as a beloved favorite among French gamers!
