The Sims 4 settles back into the number one spot on the
GFK Chart-Track PC sales chart for the week ending May 16th as Project CARS
moves down to the number five spot. Project CARS retains the number one spot on
the
all platforms chart where Wolfenstein: The Old Blood debuts at number two.
There are more numbers to crunch in
their write-up:
‘Project
Cars’ (-64%) holds on to No1 for a second week to become the first Bandai Namco
title to do so since ‘Ridge Racer Type 4’ over 16 years ago.
Stand-alone expansion ‘Wolfenstein: The Old Blood’ from Bethesda debuts at No2
on PS4, Xbox One and PC. Despite having been launched digitally on May 5th, the
boxed versions debut strongly in the chart, especially the PS4 version which
takes a 67% share compared to Xbox One’s 27%. ‘Grand Theft Auto V’ (-25%) makes
way, dropping one place to No3, however this is not going to trouble Take
2/Rockstar’s record breaker as it has now passed 5 million sales in the UK.
‘Mortal Kombat X’ (-28%) also slips one place, down to No4, ahead of a re-entry
for Square-Enix’s ‘Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster’ which rebounds back into
the chart at No5 thanks to the launch of a PS4 version. Big hitters ‘FIFA 15’
(-24%) and ‘Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare’ (-16%) both look comfortable in the
Top 10 at No’s 6 and 7 respectively.
More previous No1s occupy the final 3 Top 10 places with ‘Dying Light’ (-33%)
down 3 places to No8, ‘Destiny’ (+0%) up one place to No9 and ‘Battlefield
Hardline’ (-34%) down 3 places to No10. Bandai Namco could well be celebrating
three 3 weeks at No1 next week as ‘Project Cars’ goes up against another of
their own titles, ‘The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’.
