Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and Battlefield 4 enter at #1 and #2 respectively in this week’s UK chart. Neither however has managed to outsell their predecessors, which can almost certainly be attributed to the incoming PS4 and Xbox One versions. To make way for these new arrivals FIFA 14 falls to #3, followed by …
We didn’t quite see it coming. Batman: Arkham Origins has knocked GTA V off the top spot in this week’s UK chart. Perhaps everyone in the world already owns a copy of Rockstar’s car theft simulator. That’s an impressive chart entry for a game that got mixed reviews, with publishers Warner Bros. putting an embargo …
This week’s UK chart looks quite familiar, with GTA V on top of the charts, sitting above FIFA 14. There is however a new entry at #3, in the form of Skylanders: Swap Force, Activision’s latest attempt to sell children more plastic figurines. Pokemon X and Y fall slightly to #4 and #5 respectively, showing …
This week’s UK chart sees GTA V back on top, knocking FIFA 14 down to #2. With Pokemon X and Y’s sales double that of last year’s Pokemon Black 2/White 2, the first 3DS monster battler arrives at #3 and #4. Then at #5 it’s another new entry – Beyond: Two Souls. Quantic Dream’s last …
FIFA 14 is still the UK’s number one, but that hasn’t prevented Grand Theft Auto V from breaking yet another record – Chart Track reports that it has already outsold GTA IV’s lifetime UK sales. It’s no wonder the GTA Online severs are beyond crowded. Chart Track also reports that FIFA 14’s sales are down …
If any mega franchise was going to be able to dislodge Grand Theft Auto V from the top of the UK chart after just one week, it was FIFA. And that’s exactly what has happened, even with sales of FIFA 14 down 24% that of FIFA 13. Chart-Track believes that’s “possibly due to all the …
Grand Theft Auto V is this week’s UK number one, of course. Only a buffoon would have thought otherwise. The story lies in just how well it has done. 1.57m copies were shifted on launch day alone, netting revenue of £65m. That means sales were 2.4 times greater than that of GTA IV, leading it …
No doubt thanks to the current £24.99 price-tag, Deep Silver’s Saints Row IV has managed to hold the top spot in the UK top 40 for a fourth row running. You have to wonder just how many copies are going to be traded in tomorrow. At #2 it’s a new entry – Kingdom Hearts HD …
This week’s UK top 40 sees Saints Row IV at the top spot for a third week running. It’s available for £24.99 at most places now, suggesting that Deep Silver wants to sell as many copies as they can – even at a lower cost – before GTA V arrives next week. The colourful crime …
It would seem that Deep Silver’s acquisition of Volition is paying off – Saints Row IV has claimed the UK top 40 top spot for a second week running. Last week it was reported that over a million copies have been sold so far, so perhaps it shouldn’t be a surprise to learn that it’s …
After a bumper crop of new releases last week, it’s Saints Row IV that’s come out on top in the UK chart. Deep Silver and Koch Media plucked the publishing rights from THQ’s ashes, and it’s become the company’s third number one of the year; the only other publisher to match that count is EA. …
Stock shortages can’t be good news for Payday 2’s launch week sales, but it still manages to take the top spot of the UK chart regardless. For those not aware, the Xbox 360 version has seemingly sold out everywhere online and is currently selling for £50+ on eBay due to 505 Games underestimating demand. With …
Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition is the UK’s number one for the third week running. The last game from Microsoft to hold the top spot for three consecutive weeks, believe it or not, was Forza 2 back in 2007. With the Premiership nearly upon us FIFA 13 rises back to #2. Then it’s The Smurfs 2 …
Last week we speculated that The Smurfs 2 may rise up the chart once the movie had been released. Well, we weren’t wrong there – it has shot up all the way to #5 in the UK top 40. It’s #1 in both the Wii and DS charts, at an absurdly high #5 the Xbox …
This week’s UK chart has an unexpected #1 – not Nintendo’s Pikmin 3, but Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition. We assume that’s down to a combination of the game’s ‘pocket money’ price tag and the kids currently being off school. The long awaited Wii U-exclusive Pikmin 3 pops in at #2 – a very respectable placing, …
