Chart-Track reveals Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End is a commercial success as well as a critical one – it has become the fastest selling instalment in the series, beating Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception’s debut week sales by 66%. As such, Drake occupies the UK chart’s top spot this week. Bethesda’s DOOM is off to a …
Battleborn has claimed the UK chart’s top spot, giving Take-2 their first number once since 2015’s current-gen GTA V re-release. It appears Battleborn didn’t have to shift spectacular numbers to get where it is, however – Chart-Track reports that this week’s chart was hit by a “summer slump†with sales down 11% overall. Call of …
As far as this week’s chart is concerned, the purchasing habits of the British public make for interesting reading – ¾ of all top 40 titles have enjoyed a sales boost, thanks to a combination of retailer promotions and the long bank holiday weekend. The bottom half of the top 40 sees the return of …
Last week was surprisingly busy for new releases, and as such this week’s UK top 40 is a hub of activity. Backed by a steady string of glowing reviews, and with the movie release just days away, Ratchet & Clank on PS4 takes the chart’s top spot. It’s the first in the series to bag …
The amount of momentum Dark Souls has built up over the years is nothing short of incredible. Series predecessor Demon’s Souls made #6 in the UK chart back in 2010, while the original Dark Souls debuted at #3 in 2011. Until today Dark Souls II held the accolade of being the highest charting at launch …
It was an incredibly tight battle between Quantum Break and DiRT Rally for the coveted UK chart top spot, but in the end Microsoft managed to steal it away from Codemasters. DiRT Rally – referred to as the greatest rally racer of recent times – beat the launch week sales of DiRT Showdown by 197%, …
Although a handful of new releases graced store shelves last week – WRC 5 eSports Edition, Trillion: God of Destruction, Nights of Azure and Adam’s Venture Origins – not a single one managed to break the UK top 40. Trillion: God of Destruction did however top the PS Vita chart, despite mixed reviews. As such, …
Despite decent reviews Ubisoft’s Trackmania Turbo has entered at a not particularly impressive #21 in the UK chart. We doubt Ubisoft are too bothered though – Tom Clancy’s The Division is number one for a third week running. Sales of Far Cry Primal are up 132% due to price cuts too, pushing it back up …
Tom Clancy’s The Division – our review of which is now up – remains the UK’s number one for a second week. Unsurprising. Both EA Sports UFC 2 and Pokken Tournament put in a very good showing though, arriving at #2 and #3 respectively. Sales of UFC 2 were up 53% over the previous iteration. …
Coming as a surprise to no one, Tom Clancy’s The Division is the UK’s new number one. The surprise lies within just how well it has performed. Breaking an 11 year record held by Gran Turismo 4, it has become the biggest ever Q1 launch. Or to reiterate, it has outsold all other titles released …
Wii U revamp The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD has entered the UK top 40 at #2. The individual format chart shows an even bigger reason for Nintendo to celebrate – it’s #1 here, outselling the PS4 and Xbox One iterations of Far Cry Primal. Obviously, it wasn’t able to better combined sales – …
Far Cry Primal has bagged Ubisoft their first number one of 2016. It’s the first Far Cry since the 2004 original to launch outside the usually busy Q4 period. How it has performed when compared to previous games in the franchise is unknown, though. Chart-Track does however inform that sales of Plants vs Zombies: Garden …
Street Fighter V arrives at #2 in the UK chart. A highly respectable position, but it still fell short of bettering Street Fighter IV’s launch week sales. We should note, however, that SFIV launched on three formats compared to SFV’s two (PS4 and PC). Capcom’s latest brawler has been met by critical acclaim. Fans on …
Call of Duty: Black Ops III enjoys a tenth non-consecutive week at the top of the UK chart. LEGO Marvel’s Avengers remains at #2 for a second week running, followed by FIFA 16, GTA V and Star Wars Battlefront to form the UK’s top five. Positions six through to seven are then filled by Rainbow …
Despite arriving to decent reviews in 2012, Gravity Rush on PS Vita didn’t perform too well in the UK chart. To wit: it entered at #11 at launch and then swiftly left the top 40 the following week. Four years later, PS4 revamp Gravity Rush Remastered has struggled to even break the top 20 – …
