As expected, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided has claimed the UK chart’s top spot. Chart-Track reports it didn’t outperform Deus Ex: Human Revolution when it comes to launch week sales, though. Codemasters’ F1 2016 falls to #2 with sales down 57% while No Man’s Sky falls to #3. Overwatch holds onto #4, and then at #5 …
If we were gambling men we would have put money on Deus Ex: Mankind Divided dethroning No Man’s Sky from the top of the chart. This week’s top 40 proves why we shouldn’t even step foot in a bookies – Codemasters’ F1 2016 has taken pole position, knocking No Man’s Sky to #2 after just …
Chart-Track has compiled a triple whammy of No Man’s Sky facts: it had the second biggest ever PS4 launch behind Uncharted 4, it’s the fastest-selling new IP on PS4, and the fifth biggest IP launch on any Sony platform (behind Destiny, Watch_Dogs, The Getaway and The Last of Us). The Getaway! It goes without saying …
Surprise! GTA V has re-claimed the UK’s chart top spot for the first time since March 2015, making it nine weeks in total for Take-2’s crime caper. Chart-Track informs that it was a close call between GTA V and Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, with sales just “a handful†apart. GTA V’s rise to the …
LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens has bagged its fifth consecutive no.1, putting it neck-and-neck with current LEGO record holder LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes. There’s one more chart to go until No Man’s Sky launches, meaning The Force Awakens may very well go on to become a LEGO record breaker. Uncharted 4: A …
For reasons obvious, a trio of Pokémon games resurfaced in this week’s UK top 40. We guess this answers the question as to whether Pokémon Go will have a positive impact on the upcoming Pokémon Moon/Sun. Pokémon Omega Ruby is back at #17, Alpha Sapphire made #24 and Pokemon Y reappeared at #29. Popular 3DS …
Consider last week’s Amazon Prime Day a success – the UK chart has seen a good old shake up off the back of Amazon’s one-day discounts. Not so much in the top ten – where LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens claims its third number one – but rather just outside, with Zoo Tycoon, Kinect …
Last week was an uneventful one for new releases, and as such this week’s UK chart follows suit with only a small amount of shuffling occurring in the top ten. LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens remains on top for a second week running, Overwatch rises one place to #2, DOOM moves up to #3, …
Last week saw five new titles enter the UK top 40. This week we see five enter the top 20; an unprecedented amount considering the time of year. Chances are they didn’t have to sell all that many copies to break the chart, though, as UK retailers are experiencing a sales slump currently. Arriving at …
Considering the usually quiet season of summer is upon us, it’s somewhat surprising to find that five new releases have made the UK top 40 this week. Before we rattle them off, let’s cover the top five. For a second week running DOOM takes the top spot, followed by the recently discounted FIFA 16 at …
A price cut to £29.99 has helped DOOM claim the UK chart’s top spot, putting an end to Overwatch’s three week run in the process. The recently released DOOM demo likely played a part in this, too. DOOM entered at #2 during launch week, so this is in fact the first time the grizzly shooter …
Mirror’s Edge Catalyst has put in a solid showing in the UK top 40, arriving at #2. Not quite good enough to knock Overwatch from the top spot, but an impressive debut all the same. The original Mirror’s Edge was a slow but steady seller, taking 12 weeks to sell 60% of its lifetime sales. …
We were slightly worried that Dead Island Definitive Edition was going to claim the UK chart’s top spot this week, dislodging Overwatch in the process. Pleasingly, this isn’t the case – Overwatch remains on top for a second week running. Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End remains at #2, while DOOM stays put at #3. At …
Blizzard’s sensational Overwatch claims the UK chart’s top spot this week, becoming the developer’s fastest selling console release to date. Chart-Track informs sales were spilt 47% on PS4, 36% on Xbox One and 18% on PC (physical only). Overwatch’s arrival pushes Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End down to #2. DOOM – which we reviewed last …
Uncharted 4, DOOM, Homefront: The Revolution, Fire Emblem Fates and Valkyria Chronicles Remastered – these are the games the great British public opened their wallets for last week. The top two positions in the UK top 40 remain unchanged, occupied by Uncharted 4 and DOOM. Sales of Uncharted were down 78% from launch week, reports …
