It was a close battle between Super Mario Odyssey and Assassin’s Creed: Origins, but in the end, Ubisoft’s franchise reboot pipped the ex-plumber to no.1. While Origins did have a stronger launch than Watch_Dogs 2, sales were almost level with 2015’s AC Syndicate – a franchise low point in terms of week one sales. Digital …
Sony’s Gran Turismo Sport has ended FIFA 18’s three week run at no.1. The eagerly awaited racer had a stronger launch than 2013’s GT6, but couldn’t beat GT5’s week one sales. FIFA 18 falls to #2. FIFA 17 only managed a three-week run as well, coincidentally, toppled by EA’s own Battlefield 1. At #3 it’s …
History tends to repeat itself. In 2014, FIFA 15 managed to prevent Shadow of Mordor from topping the UK chart. Skip forward three years, and we find FIFA 18 at no.1 for the third week running with Shadow of War being forced to settle for #2. We doubt Warner Bros. are too concerned – they …
FIFA 18 remains the UK’s no.1 for the second week running. It had a stronger week two than FIFA 17, which was up against Mafia III during its second week on sale. Forza Motorsport 7 parks up at #2. The series certainly isn’t declining in popularity – Forza 6 and Forza Horizon 3 also made …
EA eases us into October with FIFA 18 riding the UK chart high, pushing Destiny 2 to #2 in the process. Chart-Track reports 60% of FIFA 18’s sales were on PS4 (up from 53% last year, thanks to hardware bundling), and that the PS4/XO versions alone accounted for 97% of sales. Proving what a colossal …
This week’s UK chart includes a couple of surprises. Firstly though, here’s something that doesn’t come as a shock – Destiny 2 sits astride the UK top 40 for the third week running. This means Activision has spent 11 weeks at no.1 in total, split across a trio of titles – Destiny 2, Crash Bandicoot, …
Destiny 2 managed to fend off all newcomers, holding the UK chart’s top spot for a second week running. No surprise there, really – Bungie’s sci-fi opus is still the talk of the town. The fact that NBA 2K18 outperformed PES 2018 does come as a surprise, however. Take 2’s sports sim had the biggest …
Coming as a surprise to absolutely nobody, Destiny 2 is the UK’s new no.1. It had the biggest launch of 2017 so far, beating previous record holders Horizon Zero Dawn and Ghost Recon Wildlands. There’s a slight sting in this tale, however. Physical sales were down an estimated 58% over the original Destiny, which launched …
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is the UK’s number one for the second week running. With the almighty Destiny 2 launching on Wednesday, it’s unlikely to make it for a third consecutive week. The Ubisoft-published Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle barges in at #2. Chart-Track reports the difference in sales between Kingdom Battle and The Lost …
Crash Bandicoot’s seven week stay at the top of the UK chart has come to end, dethroned by Crash’s original creators – Naughty Dog. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy takes no.1, becoming the 6th PS4 exclusive to take the top spot this year. Gamesindustry.biz reports sales of The Lost Legacy were “slightly less than half†of …
We’re all for publishers and developers creating new IP. In Agents of Mayhem’s case however, we struggle to see why Volition didn’t give the world a new Saints Row instead. This generation hasn’t had a proper exclusive Saints Row title yet. Moreover, the franchise is more than popular enough to ensure a decent amount of …
Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy has claimed a fourth week at no.1. The last title to hold onto top spot for this long was Activision’s own Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, which had a five-week run at the end of 2016. The rest of the UK’s top ten remains mostly unchanged. Price drops on Bethesda’s back …
With no new releases, and ample stock now available, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy takes the UK chart’s top spot for a fifth week. In doing so, it becomes the only PS4 exclusive to claim no.1 for five weeks or more. No other game released in 2017 has been able to remain at no.1 for …
The UK chart’s top three positions remain unchanged this week. This means Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy has now spent 4 out of its 5 weeks on sale at no.1. Splatoon 2 is at #2; GTA V at #3. There’s a small shake-up in the remaining top ten positions. GAME’s ‘3 for 2’ on Bethesda …
Splatoon 2 is off to an impressive start. It had a stronger launch than the Wii U original, and it also had the third biggest Switch launch behind Zelda: BotW and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Ultimately though, it had to settle for #2 in the UK chart as renewed stock of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane …
