This week’s UK charts are now in courtesy of GFK Chart Track. It’s an interesting week as there’s not a single Nintendo title in the entire top forty which is bound to be disappointing for Nintendo UK. No Xenoblade Chronicles X and no Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Bros amongst others. Anyway, here’s the best-selling video games in the United Kingdom this week.
The year ends with ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops III’ (-39%) comfortably rooted to No1, making it five weeks at the top in 2015, a record only beaten by ‘FIFA 16’ which managed six weeks. There is also no change at No2 as ‘Star Wars Battlefront’ (-39%) remains popular, having stayed in the Top 3 since launch. ‘Fallout 4’ (-34%) finishes the year ahead of ‘FIFA 16’ (-54%), jumping one place to No3, while the phenomenally successful football game and biggest grossing game of 2015 has to settle for No4. ‘Grand Theft Auto V’ (-32%) is a non-mover at No5, while ‘Tom Clancy’s Rainbow 6: Siege’ (-9%) moves back up to its highest ever chart position, climbing three places from No9 to No6. Ubisoft’s other Top 10 title, ‘Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate’ (-44%) holds on to No7 ahead of ‘Just Cause 3’ (-48%) at No8 and ‘WWE 2K16’ (-42%) at No9. ‘Forza Motorsport 6’ (-35%) keeps another Microsoft title, ‘Halo 5: Guardians’ (-36%) out of the Top 10 as both games climb two places with Forza charting one place ahead at No10.

Nothing against UK at all, but jesus their taste in gaming. Only game that caught my attention on there was tomb raider, uncharted, gears & probably batman.
Came to post this. This has to be the worst chart I’ve seen in a long time.
Hardly surprising that there’s not a Wii U game in the charts and worse again not a single Nintendo game. They don’t spend a penny on advertising. I haven’t seen a Wii U ad on TV in well over 18 months, that was for MK8 and before that I couldn’t tell you what the last ad was. Meanwhile I’m bombarded daily by XBOX1 and in particular PS4 ads. You reap what you sow.
Not really a matter of no nintendo games being on the list, it just a matter of the taste in gaming over in the UK is just so one sided. Like if not shooters, sports & maybe a racer then its like why play games if ya can’t spice it up abit. Even if they do have a game that goes out of their comfort zone on the charts; It’s never there for long.
Yeah Nintendo ducks at advertising I am very disappointed with their advertising of the usual big name games but when it comes to other big name games that are not the usual games they barely advertise except for the rare occurrence like splatoon and can’t wait to play this bro may get all 3 games
Least Assassin’s Creed Syndicate & Grant Theft Auto V for the PS4 are on there! Right, guys! … Guys!? Guys..? ………….. Where’d everybody go..?
>>>Games that the Sonyans did nothing on>>>
