PS4 exclusive Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age is the UK’s new number one, ergo Square-Enix’s first chart topper since 2016’s Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. This ends Crash Bandicoot’s two-week run – the box breaking marsupial is now at #3, with Activision’s own Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare rising from #8 to #2. This resurgence …
Despite apparent stock shortages, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is the UK’s number one for the second week running. This is something Activision can be proud of – the only other PS4 exclusive to retain the top spot for two consecutive weeks is Uncharted 4. GTA V moves up one position to claim #2, Overwatch …
Never underestimate the power of nostalgia. Last month, WipEout Omega Collection became the first entry in the series to claim the UK chart top spot. One month on, Crash Bandicoot has pulled the same trick – Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy is also the first in the franchise to take no.1. [Update: Eurogamer claims it’s the …
In what was an allegedly quiet week for game sales, GTA V managed to retake the UK chart top spot. This is its thirteenth week in total, putting it on par with Zumba Fitness. The two titles now share the third longest time span spent at no.1. Codemasters’ DiRT 4 rises to #2, giving it …
After a small resurgence last week, Horizon Zero Dawn has gone the whole hog and re-claimed the UK chart top spot, dislodging Sony’s own Wipeout: Omega Collection in the process. This can be attributed to a price drop – the open-world opus is currently available for around £25 online. Nintendo’s ARMS had to settle for …
Proving that a new instalment was long overdue, WipEout: The Omega Collection has topped the UK chart. Amazingly, it’s the first in the series to do so – the 1995 PS1 original only made it to #5. Codemasters’ DiRT 4 is off to a good start too, arriving at #3. The third – and final …
Bandai-Namco must be pleased as punch. Tekken 7 has become the first in the series to shoot straight to no.1 since 1998’s Tekken 3. For those curious about entries prior, 2012’s Tekken Tag Tournament 2 had to settle for #2, while 2006’s Tekken 6 debuted at #8. Tekken 7’s arrival knocked Injustice 2 down to …
Nintendo Switch big-hitters Ultra Street Fighter II and Disgaea 5: Complete both managed to enter this week’s UK top 40. As was to be expected, it was a case of the former vastly outselling the latter – Ultra SF II made #10 while Disaega 5: Complete settled for a lowly #36. Arriving at #27, PS4/XO …
Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, Injustice 2 has managed to claim the UK’s top spot. It’s Warner Bros’ first UK number one of 2017, and the first fighting game to claim no.1 since NetherRealm’s own Mortal Kombat X in 2015. Sony’s much touted PSVR shooter Farpoint debuts at #2, surpassing PSVR launch title …
Bethesda’s DOOM didn’t take the UK chart top spot until around a month after launch, having to settle for #2 upon release. Prey has found itself in a similar position – it debuted at #2, but this week rises to claim no.1. Unlike DOOM however, it didn’t need a price drop to get there. We …
Never underestimate the popularity of Mario Kart. Nintendo’s latest entry in the colourful kart racing series holds the UK chart top spot for a second week, fending off Bethesda’s Prey. Prey had to settle for #2, with the PS4 version being the biggest selling despite the original being an Xbox 360 exclusive. That was a …
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the UK’s new number one, becoming Nintendo’s first chart topper since 2011’s Pokémon White. It’s also the first Mario game to claim the top spot since 2008’s Mario Kart Wii. In terms of week one franchise sales, reports suggest it outsold both Mario Kart 8 on Wii U and Mario …
This week’s UK chart is rather uneventful, all told. The big news is Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands has taken the top spot for a second week running, making it four in total. The rest of the top ten sees a slight shuffle, with a top five comprising of GTA V, FIFA 17, LEGO Worlds …
After debuting at no.1 last week, JRPG Persona 5 is now nowhere to be seen in the UK top 40. All signs point to Deep Silver underestimating demand, and then some. Incidentally, Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition has also left the top 40 after just one week. We doubt this is down to stock issues though; …
It’s Persona 5 that tops the UK chart this week, ending Mass Effect: Andromeda’s two week run in the process. The incredibly well-received JRPG has become the fastest-selling entry in the series, unsurprisingly, as well as Atlus’ first ever All-Formats no.1. Hurrah! We have to look back to 2013 to find the last JRPG that …
