It may have experienced a 73% drop in week-to-week sales, but The Division is still sitting pretty at the top of the all-format gaming chart.

Ubisoft’s biggest-selling new game over a 24-hour period tops the chart above heavyweight new releases in EA Sports UFC 2 and Pokken Tournament.

Despite missing out on the top spot, EA Sports UFC 2 launch week sales are up by 53% compared to its predecessor. It made 65% of sales on PS4 and 35% on Xbox One.

The aforementioned brawlers enter the chart in second and third, above Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 in fourth and Far Cry Primal in fifth.

FIFA 16, GTA 5 and Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 follow at six, seven and eight, while LEGO Marvel’s Avengers and Forza Motorsport 6 chart at nine and ten.

The Division is breaking records left and right for Ubisoft. Already the company’s biggest-selling new release over a 24-hour period, the game is now the UK’s best-selling Q1 release.

That makes it the most popular game to be released between January 1 and March 31 ever – or at least since records began. It outpaced previous record holder Gran Turismo 4, which made its UK debut all the way back on March 9, 2004.

However, while it’s Ubisoft’s biggest new release globally, launch sales were behind Watch Dogs and Assassin’s Creed 3 in the UK.

Still it’s a great start for the shooter, which made 54% of sales on the PS4, compared to 45% on Xbox One.

It tops the chart above fellow Ubisoft title Far Cry Primal, which is followed by Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, FIFA 16 and Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2.

Elsewhere, LEGO Marvel’s Avengers charts at six, GTA 5 remains at seven, Forza 6 climbs to eight, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD drops to nine and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege charts at ten.

Ubisoft took a risk stripping the guns from Far Cry and swapping them out for clubs, spears and remote-controlled owls, but it seems to have paid off, with the game taking the number one spot in the UK charts.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 has seen its 11-week run at the top moved down three places, with ​The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD at number two and Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 – a game with its roots (sorry) in a Call of Duty pun – at number three.

FIFA 16 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 are still hanging into the top five, with Black Ops 3 in fourth and FIFA 16 in fifth.

After celebrating 11 weeks at the top of the all-format gaming chart last week, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 has been knocked off its perch​, this time by Far Cry Primal.

Far Cry Primal racked up 58% of its sales on PS4, compared to 42% on Xbox One.

It’s followed by Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 in second, which was actually more popular on Xbox One, after selling 60% on Microsoft’s console.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is showing absolutely no signs of slowing down.

Last year’s biggest selling game has now broken a series record, after topping the gaming chart for an impressive 11 weeks.

That’s the longest amount of time any Call of Duty has spent ​at the top of the gaming charts.

Just another seven weeks and it will overtake the all-time chart record held by Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? on PSOne.

Activision’s shooter managed to fend off the advances of Street Fighter V, which entered the chart in second place.

Capcom’s fighting sequel didn’t even sell as many week one copies as Street Fighter 4, although it’s possible that it fared better online.

Elsewhere, FIFA 16 holds on to third place, followed by LEGO Marvel’s Avengers, GTA 5 and Star Wars: Battlefront.

Fallout 4 and Rainbow Six: Siege chart at seven and eight, while Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon is the second highest new entry at nine. Minecraft: Story Mode completes the top ten.

LEGO Marvel’s Avengers has become the eighth LEGO game to top the all format gaming chart.

With LEGO Marvel’s Avengers and Black Ops in first and second, FIFA 16 drops to third, above Rainbow Six Siege, Star Wars: Battlefront and GTA 5.
