Ghost Recon: Wildlands is back on top of the gaming charts

Third week leading UK retail sales for Ubisoft's co-operative sandbox



Ubisoft's Ghost Recon: Wildlands is back on top of the UK retail charts this week after last week's number one, Persona 5, completely falls off the charts. Not charting in the top 40 for a game that was number one the week prior is certainly an oddity, but apparently it is out of stock in many places following the extremely strong opening week.

This week's best newcomer is Playtonic's Yooka-Laylee that lands at a very respectable sixth place. It remains to be seen if it can show some legs and find a new younger audience at retail as presumably most early adopters are older fans of Banjo-Kazooie. The only other new entry to break into the top 40 is Stardew Valley that finally hits retail and lands at number 30 (all formats).

Mass Effect: Andromeda continues to tumble down the charts and finds itself at number twelve this week after registering positions 1, 1, and 5 in its first three weeks.

The fact that Horizon: Zero Dawn ranks at third in the individual chart and only at 11 in the all formats chart indicates that the difference in sales between many of these titles is very small (the fact that Wii U sales of Breath of the Wild pushes it ahead of Horizon in the all formats chart is a strong indication of that).
