The last-gen formats have reached the age where they’re being handed down to younger siblings, with the Xbox One and PS4 taking pride of place under the main TV instead. Both consoles have also fallen in price heavily over the past year or so, making them affordable (and more viable) for children. Unlike the Wii …
This week’s UK chart looks quite familiar, with GTA V on top of the charts, sitting above FIFA 14.
