It’s Monday so get ready for the UK charts! There’s a number of new releases this week as we head into the busy Christmas shopping period. The recently released Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon entered the charts at number four and number five respectively. Nothing could dethrone Call of Duty: WWII from the top spot this week.
‘Call of Duty: WWII’ camps out the top stop for a third week
Activision Blizzard’s ‘Call of Duty: WWII’ retains the No1 spot for a third week since launch, narrowly holding off EA’s ‘Star Wars Battlefront II’ which launched on Tuesday and Friday this week for PS4, Xbox One and PC.
EA drop one place to No3 with ‘FIFA 18’. Nintendo debut in similar positions to last year’s Pokemon Sun/Moon with ‘Pokemon Ultra Sun’ debuting at No4 and ‘Pokemon Ultra Moon’ at No5. Other new entries this week include EA’s PS4/Xbox One ‘The Sims 4’ at No7, Rockstar/Take 2’s PS4, Xbox One and Switch ‘L.A. Noire Remastered’ at No8 and Warner’s PS4, Xbox One ‘Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2’ in at No10.
Bethesda’s PS4 ‘The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR’ debuts at No19 as the most successful 3rd party week 1 launch for a VR-required title on PS4 (Sony’s 2016 launch title ‘Playstation VR Worlds’ is No1 and 2017’s ‘Farpoint’ is No2). On other PS VR related news, Sony’s ‘Playstation VR Worlds’ shoots back in to the charts at No21on the back of massive promotional activity, centrered around the PS VR headset. Bethesda’s Switch version of ‘The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’ is the last of the new releases within the Top 40, debuting at No26.

I don’t like the UK’s taste in games. It’s very Chad-y, if that makes sense to anyone else.
They grew with Sony sadly.
Battlefront II not managing to top the charts above Week 2 CoD is some very good news there. That is going to be a very disappointing performance for EA, and serves them right.

So PS VR for Skyrim trumps Nintendo portability for Skyrim this week, eh? Well certain Nintendo fans aren’t gonna be happy about that. *shrug* Oh well.
Least Assassin’s Creed Origins & Super Mario Odyssey are still in the top 10, so I’m at least happy with this week’s sales chart.
