LEGO Marvel’s Avengers has become the UK’s first new no. 1 of 2016, dislodging Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 from the top spot in the process. In doing so, it becomes the 8th LEGO game to shoot straight to the top. The individual format chart reveals that the PS4 version was the biggest selling, …
Resident Evil Origins Collection and Life is Strange both make top ten appearances this week, at #6 and #7 respectively. The individual format chart reveals the PS4 versions of each were the biggest-selling. We accidentally forgot to mention Life is Strange’s physical release during last week’s new release round-up, so sorry about that. You know …
The first major retail releases of 2016 are still a week or so away. As such, this week’s UK top 40 remains mostly unchanged. Even with a 24% dip in sales, Call of Duty: Black Ops III manages to hold onto the top spot for a sixth consecutive week – the top 40’s longest run …
EA’s Battlefield 4 has shot up the UK top 40 this week, rising from #23 to #10. Chart-Track reports that 97% of sales were for the last-gen versions, which ties-in with the fact that it’s currently £1.99 at Argos on Xbox 360 and PS3. What a nation of bargain hunters we are. Due to the …
Don’t be fooled into thinking this week’s UK chart is the first of 2016 – it’s actually the last of 2015, due to the 2nd January cut-off date. 2015 ended with Call of Duty: Black Ops III ruling the roost, making it five weeks at no.1. FIFA 16 still holds the record for weeks at …
With sales up 40% over last week, Call of Duty: Black Ops III claims the UK chart’s top spot for a third consecutive week. This week’s top 40 includes pre-Christmas and Boxing Day sales, incidentally. Positions #2 through to #4 remain unchanged – Star Wars Battlefront at #2 (sales up 16%), FIFA 16 at #3 …
If we were gambling men we would have put money on Star Wars Battlefront becoming the UK’s Christmas number one. While it did see a 20% jump in sales – becoming EA’s biggest selling game of the week, beating FIFA 16 – it wasn’t enough to dislodge Call of Duty: Black Ops III from the …
FIFA 16, Black Ops III and Star Wars Battlefront continue to play musical chairs with the UK chart’s top spot. Activision can rest and put their feet up this week as it’s Call of Duty: Black Ops III’s turn. They shouldn’t get too comfortable though. With Star Wars: The Force Awakens just days away, Star …
Although Just Cause 3 didn’t mangage to dislodge FIFA 16, Black Ops III and Star Wars Battlefront from the UK chart’s top three positions, it still enjoys a week one series high with sales up 46% over Just Cause 2. Square-Enix’s pleasingly colourful shooter is in at #4. Fallout 4 drops one position to #5 …
We aren’t entirely sure why Chart-Track published this week’s UK top 40 a day later than usual, but we imagine it has something to do with the Black Friday sales putting the chart in a spin. Sales were up 60% from the previous week, and a whole lot of shuffling has occurred. FIFA 16 is …
We all knew Star Wars Battlefront would take the UK chart top spot this week. Chart-Track has made this event a tad more exciting with a few choice facts. Not only is it the fastest selling Star Wars game of all-time, beating previous best seller Star Wars: The Force Unleashed by 117%, but it’s also …
Beating Fallout: New Vegas’ week one sales by a resounding 213%, Fallout 4 has shot to the top of the UK chart. In doing so it becomes the UK’s third fastest seller of the year after Black Ops III and FIFA 16. Speaking of which, Black Ops III moves down a position to #2 – …
Despite arriving on a Friday – instead of a Tuesday, as per the previous six games in the franchise – Call of Duty: Black Ops III has shot straight to top the UK chart. Quelle surprise. Chart-Track reports that it’s the 7th fastest seller in the series in terms of week one sales. Bear in …
Halo 5: Guardians has managed to dislodge Assassin’s Creed Syndicate from the top of the UK chart. Chart-Track reports that not only did it beat AC Syndicate’s week one sales by 50%, but also Halo: Master Chief Collection (by the same amount). Assassin’s Creed Syndicate falls to #2 with a 39% dip in sales. FIFA …
Assassin’s Creed Syndicate has managed to dislodge FIFA 16 from the UK chart’s top spot but we doubt Ubisoft are popping champagne corks just yet. It’s the slowest selling major AC game to date. We know it has beaten sales of 2014’s last-gen AC Rogue – and quite possibly Revelations – but it has obviously …
