Even with an 81% drop in sales, Watch_Dogs is the UK’s number one for a second week running. That’s no surprise. What is surprising though is that Mario Kart 8 has managed to remain at #2. At #3 it’s a new entry, and a surprisingly high one at that for Murdered: Soul Suspect. The individual …
Ubisoft’s Watch_Dogs is the UK’s new number one, smashing the record for the fastest selling new IP in the process. The previous record holder was 2011’s L.A Noire, if you’re curious. It has had the 17th best launch week in the UK, putting it alongside the likes of GTA, Call of Duty and FIFA. Although …
Wolfenstein: The New Order – which we reviewed earlier this week – is the UK’s new number one. That may not surprise you – it has been a rather quiet month, at least up until this week – but what may take you by surprise is just how well it has sold. It’s the second …
Even with EA’s World Cup tie-in released way ahead of the first kick off, sales of FIFA 14 show no sign of slowing. It’s the UK’s number one yet again, making it the 12th week it has taken the top spot. This is actually an all-new record for EA – the previous best was FIFA: …
Titanfall is the UK’s #1 for a fifth week, albeit not consecutively, knocking movie tie-in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 off the top spot. Spidey now sits at #3, with FIFA 14 rising one place to #2. According to Chart-Track, less than 400 copies were between Titanfall and FIFA 14. The rest of the UK’s top …
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is the UK’s new number one, knocking Titanfall down to #2. It’s Activision’s first no.1 since Call of Duty: Ghosts, although Chart-Track reports sales were down 5% from the last Spider-Man tie-in. The individual format chart reveals that the PS4 version shifted the most copies, followed by Xbox 360 and then …
A dearth of new releases has resulted in a lack of activity in this week’s UK top 40. In fact, EA’s dominance in the top ten is about the only noteworthy occurrence. Titanfall is on top for a third week running, while 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil remains at #2. FIFA 14 is at #4, …
We wasn’t aware that the retail version of Trials Fusion includes the season pass – hence the inflated cost over the digital version – and so we didn’t expect it to chart highly this week. There must be plenty of gamers out there more switched on than we are, as Trials Fusion has entered at …
With the Xbox 360 version finally released, Titanfall has re-taken the top spot of the UK chart. This is more of an accomplishment than it may seem – it has managed to keep LEGO The Hobbit from claiming #1. And we all know how popular LEGO games are, right? LEGO The Hobbit enters at #2. …
FIFA 14 has unexpectedly re-taken the top spot of the UK chart, keeping The Elder Scrolls Online at bay. Bethesda’s PC RPG – due out on PS4 and Xbox One later this year – has to make do with #2. It’ll be interesting to see where it is next week – Diablo III: Reaper of …
For a second week in a row, PlayStation 4-exclusive inFamous: Second Son claims the UK chart’s top spot. Titanfall only managed one week at top, so no doubt Sony are quite chuffed with that. MGSV: Ground Zeroes holds in at #2, with Titanfall likewise remaining at #3. FIFA 14 and The LEGO Movie Videogame round …
Last week’s trio of big name new releases have all managed to make the UK chart’s top five. Anticipated PS4-exclusive inFamous: Second Son took the top spot, becoming the first inFamous to do so. It didn’t perform quite as well as launch title Killzone: Shadow Fall though, having to settle with becoming the second biggest …
South Park: The Stick of Truth taking the top spot of the UK chart provides some food for thought – could this have been the game that would have turned THQ’s fortunes around? It certainly would have helped the publisher get back on track. The eagerly awaited cartoon adventure has become Ubisoft’s first #1 of …
Three big name new releases were competing for people’s payday money last week, and even with some mediocre reviews behind it Square-Enix’s Thief has managed to steal the top spot, pushing LEGO The Movie Videogame down to #2. FIFA 14 is at #3 while the better than expected Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare cuts in …
Out of the five or so new releases that last week gave us, Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze has managed to chart the highest, entering at a respectable #9. Rayman Legends leaps back up from #33 to #10 due to the belated Xbox One and PlayStation 4 conversions, while Rambo: The Video Game makes its mark …
