It certainly seems we aren’t going to see a new Mario Kart or GTA any time soon – Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and GTA V continue to sell well, this week claiming the top two positions in the UK top 40. Mario Kart 8 remains the ‘go-to game’ for those purchasing a new Switch, usually …
We may as well cut to the chase – not a great deal is going on in this week’s UK chart. Animal Crossing: New Horizons continues to keep FIFA 20 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare at bay, remaining top dog for a second week running. GTA V remains at #2 also, enjoying a sales …
Given the time of year, we expected this week’s UK chart to be a non-event. This isn’t the case, amazingly – GTA V has managed to take the top spot for a 14th time, following last week’s rise to #3. This puts the evergreen crime caper third in the list of titles that have spent …
In what was an allegedly quiet week for game sales, GTA V managed to retake the UK chart top spot. This is its thirteenth week in total, putting it on par with Zumba Fitness. The two titles now share the third longest time span spent at no.1. Codemasters’ DiRT 4 rises to #2, giving it …
We expected to see Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare still at no.1 in the UK chart this week, but instead the top ten has undergone a shuffle. It’s GTA V that takes the top spot, making it 10 weeks in total. This puts in a small band of other titles – including GTA: Vice City …
Surprise! GTA V has re-claimed the UK’s chart top spot for the first time since March 2015, making it nine weeks in total for Take-2’s crime caper. Chart-Track informs that it was a close call between GTA V and Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, with sales just “a handful†apart. GTA V’s rise to the …
With no new entries and GTA V holding the top spot for a second week running, this week’s UK chart isn’t exactly a thrilling one. The fact that a handful of Nintendo titles have moved up the ranks hasn’t escaped us, however. We put this down to last week’s impressively strong Nintendo Direct. In the …
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 …
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 …
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 …
After next week’s heavily Nintendo-oriented slew of releases the annual barrage of big name games starts to slow. December is looking very quiet indeed. This is no surprise – the last month of the year is usually void of major new releases. Why publishers can’t hold a couple of titles back until then, instead of …
After being cut to £20 in-store at Tesco and on Amazon – and still available for that price at the time of typing – we anticipated GTA V to retake the top spot of the UK chart. That hasn’t happened, but FIFA 14 has managed to dislodge last week’s chart topper Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, …
Quite how we’re supposed to write something interesting about this week’s UK chart is a mystery – the top seven remain unchanged from last week. This means FIFA 14 is on top for a sixth week, although not consecutively, and is followed by Call of Duty: Ghosts, Assassin’s Creed IV, Battlefield 4 and GTA V. …
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 …
