Red Dead Redemption 2 has apparently achieved the biggest opening weekend of all time across all forms of entertainment.

Dark Souls 3 is pretty good. It's so good, in fact, that it is now Bandai Namco's fastest selling title ever. In addition to this news, the company also remarks that Dark Souls 3 broke the company's records for being the most successful day-one launch.
