Despite being both the UK’s fastest selling and biggest selling game of all time, GTA V has only topped the UK chart five times. This week is one of those weeks. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare – last week’s no. 1 – falls to #2 while FIFA 15 and Far Cry 4 hold at #3 …
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker has become 2015’s first new arrival in the UK top 40, tunnelling in at #16. The official release date was last Friday but copies were available to purchase as early as before Christmas. It’s unclear if this has prevented the Wii U-exclusive from charter higher. Sales were down across the board …
It’s a little hard to muster up enthusiasm for the final chart of the year. There are no new arrivals and very few re-entries, plus the titles in the top ten are likely to remain there for weeks – if not months – to come. Every game in the top ten did however see a …
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare has become the fifth game in the franchise to take the UK’s Christmas number one spot. Strong sales of the PS4 version – which reportedly received a spot of extra promotion last week – helped Activision’s exo-suited and booted shooter to dethrone FIFA 15. GTA V took #1 in the …
Car windscreens aren’t the only thing feeling the wrath of winter – the UK top five is frozen too. A tenuous link, we know. This means FIFA 15 is the UK’s number one yet again. Last week saw it take the top spot for the first time in six weeks. Just for those who missed …
Sales of The Crew appear not to have harmed by a lack of reviews. Ubisoft’s open-world racer is in at a respectable #6 in this week’s UK top 40. Eurogamer reports sales were split 59 per cent on PlayStation 4, 33 per cent on Xbox One, eight per cent on Xbox 360 and a single …
The Black Friday sales didn’t just cause havoc at the supermarkets. They’ve managed to send the UK chart into a tizzy too. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare retakes the top spot, but this wasn’t down to people rushing out to buy it alongside a shiny new PS4 or Xbox One. 67% of sales last week …
Grand Theft Auto V has retaken the top spot of the chart, becoming the UK’s best selling game of all time in the process. Sales generated during last Tuesday’s PS4/Xbox One launch alone were enough to push it past Call of Duty: Black Ops, Chart-Track reports. Ubisoft also has a reason to be cheerful. Far …
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is, unsurprisingly, the UK’s new number one. It had a better first week than Call of Duty: Ghosts, but still has to settle for becoming the 5th biggest launch in the series. We should bear in mind here though that Advanced Warfare launched on a Monday, giving it an extra …
Eight new titles managed to enter this week’s UK top 40. None could topple FIFA 15 however, which remains on top for a sixth consecutive week. With the new Call of Duty now available though it’s doubtful it’ll make it for a seventh. Microsoft’s hyperactive shooter Sunset Overdrive arrived at #2 and is followed by …
Entering at a very respectable #7, Bayonetta 2 charted the highest out of last week’s bumper bounty of new releases. The fact that Nintendo Land is back in the top 40 suggests that the Wii U-exclusive managed to shift a few more consoles for Nintendo. Mario Kart 8 however stayed put at #30. Civilization: Beyond …
There’s no stopping FIFA – EA’s soccer sim has successfully managed to fend off another week’s worth of new releases. Specifically, The Evil Within, F1 2014 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! Last week’s top trio did however all make the top 10. Available on formats new and old, The Evil Within did – rather unsurprisingly – …
Update: Activision has dropped us a line informing that Skylanders Trap Team did in fact make #7 in the UK top 40. Chart-Track are aware that their data is currently incorrect and will be issuing a revised UK top 40 tomorrow morning Original story: This week’s UK top 40 holds a mild surprise – Skylanders …
Last week’s trio of big name releases – Shadow of Mordor, Forza Horizon 2 and Super Smash Bros. – haven’t been able to dislodge FIFA 15 from the top of the UK chart. They have however all managed to make the UK top five. Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor, to use its full name, arrives at …
As many may have predicted, Destiny’s reign of the UK top 40 has come to swift end. FIFA 15 has taken the top spot, accounting for 80% of all entertainment software units sold last week and a whopping 87% of revenue. You have Chart-Track to thank for those two eyebrow raising stats. It was the …
