Last week’s UK chart was rife with activity – there were five new entries in the top 20 alone. This week? Not a single new arrival and the top three remains unchanged. This means Batman: Arkham Knight takes the top spot for a second week running, and is followed by LEGO Jurassic World and The …
An unprecedented amount of games have entered the UK top twenty this week. Unprecedented for this time of year, anyway. Say hello to five fresh faces. Batman: Arkham Knight is, predictably, the UK’s new number one. It’s Warner’s 4th numero uno of 2015 following Dying Light, Mortal Kombat X and last week’s chart topper LEGO …
LEGO Jurassic World has risen a place to claim the UK chart’s top spot, knocking The Elder Scrolls Online down to #2. In doing so, LEGO Jurassic World becomes the 7th LEGO title to take number one since the mega franchise launched in 2005. It’s also the first LEGO game to sit on top of …
Fast paced and focused, Bethesda’s first ever E3 conference is being heralded as a success. Now the publisher has another reason to celebrate – The Elder Scrolls Online is the UK’s new number one. It’s the third game of 2015 to break the 100k launch week sell-through barrier, bettering Battlefield: Hardline but unable to outperform …
Even with a 50% drop in sales, Nintendo’s delightful Splatoon has managed to remain in the UK top five for a second week. After entering at #2 last week, it now sits at #4. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is still the UK’s number one, making it three weeks on top. Will this week’s LEGO …
Well fancy spat – Wii U-exclusive Splatoon has entered the UK chart at #2. In doing so it becomes the system’s biggest ever launch for a new IP, toppling previous record holder ZombiU. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt sees a 69% drop in sales but remains the UK’s numbero uno for a second week running. …
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has become the UK’s fastest selling game of 2015 so far, beating Battlefield: Hardline’s debut week sales by some 53%. Launch sales were up 608% over The Witcher 2, while the PS4 version took the bulk of sales – a 63% share. As always though, digital PC sales are exempt. …
The glorious Project CARS is the UK’s number one for a second week running. Amazingly, that’s Bandai Namco’s longest number one streak since Ridge Racer Type 4 way back in 1999. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – another Bandai Namco published title, due out tomorrow – should help add a few more weeks to that …
Slightly Mad Studio’s Project CARS has become the first racer to take the UK chart’s top spot since Codemaster’s GRID 2 back in 2013. Considering we’ve had Forza Horizon 2 and Driveclub since then, that’s quite the achievement. It was the PS4 version that proved the most popular, unsurprisingly. Somewhat more surprising; the boxed PC …
NetherRealm’s disturbingly brutal brawler is the UK’s number one for a third consecutive week. Just one more week is needed to topple Battlefield Hardline’s record of four weeks straight – the longest a game has dominated the top spot so far this year. With a 32% dip in sales and the anticipated Project CARS out …
With just one new game out last week, it’s no surprise to find that this week’s UK chart lies dormant. That new release was Tropico 5 on PS4, which managed to enter at #18 in the top 40 and #7 in the PS4 chart. Mortal Kombat X is still king of the castle, making it …
Battlefield: Hardline has been knocked off the UK chart top spot by Mortal Kombat X. Knocked into a vat of boiling acid, presumably. Warner Bros. must be pleased – it had the biggest ever launch for a Mortal Kombat title, and also the second biggest launch of the year so far behind Battlefield. And that’s …
Battlefield: Hardline has snagged a fourth consecutive number one, albeit it by the skin of its teeth – Chart-Track reports just 100 copies were between Hardline and FIFA 15, which moves up to #2 this week. Sales were down throughout the entire UK top ten with the biggest faller being Bloodborne. The PS4-exclusive goes from …
When perusing Chart-Track’s new UK top 40 this morning we instantly noticed that Xenoblade Chronicles 3D hadn’t made a top ten appearance. Our eyes began to scroll down the chart, lower and lower still until we finally we found it sitting at #27. Oh. We can think of two possible theories for the less than …
Bloodborne, Battlefield: Hardline and Borderlands: The Handsome Collection have been battling it out for the UK chart top spot. Chart-Track reports that Bloodborne “almost†became the fourth new IP to enter at no.1 this year, but fell short of the 22,500 copies required to dislodge Battlefield: Hardline. The PlayStation 4-exclusive settles for #2 while Borderlands: …
