UK charts sees FIFA 16 hold on to the top spot

There isn’t much movement in the top three spots of the UK game charts this week. Black Friday deals saw FIFA 16 back to the top spot last week and it remains steadfast claiming it’s sixth number one position. It is joined at the top by Call of Duty: Black Ops III and Star Wars Battlefront taking the third place.

Despite no movement at the top, two new titles have entered the Top 10 for this week. Square Enix’s Just Cause 3  is the highest new entry scoring a week one high for the series with sales up 46% on Just Cause 2. Fallout 4 has slipped down to position five, but is ahead of the second new entry – Tom Clancy’s Rainbow 6: Siege which makes it’s debut at number six.

Holding the number seven spot is TellTale Games episodic Minecraft: Story Mode which continues to deliver impressive week on week sales – up 16% on last week. Grand Theft Auto V is down two places to number eight, while Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection has slipped four places to number nine.

Finally, propping up the bottom of the table, WWE 2K16 has benefited from retailer promotions delivering an increase in sales to just nip in at position ten.

WiiU exclusive, Xenoblade Chronicles X which released this week debuts at number twenty-eight with sales up 73% on launch week of the original Xenoblade Chronicles, which released on the Wii in 2011.
