It is not surprising to see
Destiny is the big story on the new
all platforms chart from GfK Chart-Track's
now more inclusive U.K. sales listings. Since Bungie's new shooter was not
destined for PCs,
The Sims 4 retains the number one spot on the
PC entertainment chart. Here's the write-up:
Released on Tuesday 9th
September, Activision Blizzard and Bungie’s blockbuster ‘Destiny’ arrives at No1
as the biggest new IP launch ever.
Destiny is only playable online, but this hasn’t stopped it from toppling this
year’s previous biggest launch and new IP, Ubisoft’s ‘Watch Dogs’. The PS4
edition, accompanied by sales from new fixed hardware bundles in both black and
white, takes a 46% share, Xbox One 36%, Xbox 360 14% and PS3 4%.
Last week’s No1 ‘The Sims 4’ (-63%) drops to second place ahead of ‘Watch Dogs’
which despite a 29% boost in sales from retailer promotions also slips one
place, down to No3. Activision Blizzard have 2 titles in the Top 5 thanks to
‘Call of Duty: Ghosts’ (+11%) gaining two places, up to No4. ‘The Last of Us:
Remastered’ ( -16%) and ‘Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition’ (-6%) both make way for
‘Destiny’, down one place to No’s 5 and 6 respectively. There are two more Top
10 new entries this week with EA’s ‘NHL 15’ launching at No7 (a better placing
than NHL 14’s debut at No11) and Bandai Namco’s PS3/360 ‘Naruto Ultimate Ninja
Storm Revolution’ at No10.
‘Plants Vs Zombies: Garden Warfare’ (-20%) and ‘Minecraft: Playstation 3
Edition’ (-11%) are both non-movers at No8 and No9. Previous No1s ‘Diablo III
Reaper of Souls Ultimate Evil’ (-51%) and ‘Metro Redux’ (-52%) both fall out of
the Top 10, Diablo down from No5 to No13 and Metro down from No3 to No14.
Standalone PS4 expansion ‘Infamous: First Light’ is switched on at No17 and
retailer promotions on ‘The Borderlands Collection (1 & 2)’ (+999%) and ‘The
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Legendary’ (+235%) push them both back into the Top 40
at No’s 24 and 29 respectively.
