The Sims 4 is the top title on the
GFK Chart-Track top 30 chart of the bestselling PC games in the U.K. for the
week ending April 8th. The little people continue to dominate this chart, as a
five of the top 11 games are from that series.
Mass Effect: Andromeda was
number two last week, but now drops to number seven.
Persona 5 debuts at
number one on the
all platforms chart, where Mass Effect: Andromeda drops to number five after
a brief stint at number one. Here's how they
summarize all this action:
Launched
on Tuesday on PS4 and PS3 and receiving glowing reviews, ‘Persona 5’ from
Atlus/Deep Silver debuts at No1.
It is the first J-RPG (Japanese RPG) to debut at the top of the All Formats
Chart since ‘Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch’ back in W5 2013 (‘Final
Fantasy XV’ launched at No2, but it had to contend with ‘FIFA 17’). It is by far
the biggest launch for a ‘Persona’ title and the first ever All Formats No1 for
developer and publisher Atlus. ‘Mass Effect: Andromeda’ slips down to No5 after
two weeks at the top, while ‘Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands’ and ‘Lego
Worlds’ both hold on to No’s 2 and 3 respectively. Originally released on Wii U
back in W13 2013 when it debuted at No12, ‘Lego City Undercover’ comes to PS4,
Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, pushing it back in to the chart at No8 and giving
publisher Warner Bros. two Lego games in the Top 10 and four in the Top 40.
Retailer promotions give boosts to ‘Overwatch’ up from No14 to No10 and ‘WWE
2K17’ up from No19 to No13.
The only other new titles to make the Top 40 are ‘Bulletstorm: Full Clip
Edition’ from Gearbox Publishing/Maximum Games at No23 and ‘Yo-Kai Watch 2: Bony
Spirits’ at No36. Sister title ‘Yo-Kai Watch 2: Fleshy Souls’ fails to make the
Top 40.
