With only a pair of new releases last week, most of the UK chart top five has adopted a holding pattern this week. Top of the pile for a second week is Bioshock Infinite, despite a 75 percent drop in sales. Tomb Raider stays at #2, FIFA 13 at #4 and Luigi’s Mansion 2 at …
It would seem lots of gamers spent the Easter weekend getting acquainted with the charming Elizabeth – Bioshock Infinite is the new UK #1. It’s the best performing Bioshock to date, outselling 2010’s Bioshock 2 by 9,000 copies. However, it hasn’t managed to beat Tomb Raider’s launch figures. Lara’s latest hold in at #2. That’s …
Considering it’s the first major Xbox–exclusive of the year, it’s not much of a surprise to find that Gears of War: Judgment has claimed the top spot of this week’s UK chart. What is a surprise though is that Activision’s poorly received The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct has entered at #3. Those two new entries …
For a second week running there’s lots of activity in the UK chart, with no less than three new entries in the top five alone. Even with sales down by 72%, Tomb Raider has been able to fend off all newcomers – Square-Enix’s superb reboot remains at the top of the chart. God of War: …
With reports that a million copies were sold within 48 hours, it’s no surprise that Tomb Raider is this week’s new number one. It’s the best selling game of the year so far, selling double what previous top seller Aliens: Colonial Marines managed to, and the fastest selling Tomb Raider since 2006’s Legend. There are …
The only tears at Crytek this week will be tears of joy – Crysis 3 is the UK’s number one for a second week running, even with sales down 43% from launch. FIFA 13 is at #2 while Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance drops to #3. Call of Duty: Black Ops II holds onto #4 and …
For the first time in ages, this week’s UK chart has two new entries in the top two positions. Those two are Crysis 3 – which is the new number one – and Metal Gear Rising: Revengence. Chart-Track reports that there’s a gap of 5,500 copies between them. Although EA’s shooter and Konami’s hack and …
Even with a universal mauling – expect for EGM’s rather suspicious 9.0 review – Aliens: Colonial Marines has become the UK’s new number one. Not only that, but it’s also the biggest release of the year so far. That means that it had a better launch than EA’s Dead Space 3 and Capcom’s DmC. We’re …
Before Dead Space 3 launched last week EA seemed confident that it’s going to perform better than Dead Space 2, claiming that the demo has been downloaded over 2m times. Although it may do in the long run, it hasn’t broken Dead Space 2’s launch record with Chart Track claiming that sales are down 26.6%. …
Our faith in the gaming industry has been restored slightly today. Namco’s PlayStation 3-exclusive RPG Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is the new UK number one. Last week’s #1 was Call of Duty: Black Ops II, which drops to #3. FIFA 13 remains at #2. At #4 it’s Far Cry 3 and …
Price drops are apparently the reason for the amount of shuffling going on in this week’s UK chart. Call of Duty: Black Ops II is back on top, dislodging DmC down to #4. FIFA 13 is at #2, Far Cry 3 at #4 and up from #10 to #5 is Assassin’s Creed III. LEGO Batman …
Dante’s latest has shot to the top of the UK chart, becoming Capcom’s first UK #1 since Resident Evil 5 in 2009. However, all signs point to DmC not having to shift all that many copies to bag the top spot – it has only sold just over a third of what Devil May Cry …
It’s not just the weather that’s currently freezing in the UK – the top five titles in the top 40 are in identical places to last week. This means that FIFA 13 is #1 for a second week running. SEGA’s Anarchy Reigns manages to make an impact in the top 20, placing at a not …
The last UK chart of 2012 saw Far Cry 3 taking the top spot, but this week it’s back down to #2 with FIFA 13 rising back up to #1. Since release FIFA 13 has been on the top of the chart no less than five times and it has yet to drop below #4. …
It has been a good week for Ubisoft. Far Cry 3 is this week’s UK #1, knocking Call of Duty: Black Ops II off the top spot. Not only this, but out of all the publishers Ubisoft has the most titles in the top ten this week with Just Dance 4 at #6 and Assassin’s …
