Saints Row 4 fails to topple GTA 5 in gaming chart

GTA 5 has secured its third consecutive week as the all-format number one.

GTA 5 has now topped the chart for seven weeks since first launching on Xbox 360 and PS3 in 2013.

Rockstar’s open-world action game has now racked up more weeks at the top of the chart than any previous Grand Theft Auto game.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and FIFA 15 swap places in second and third, while Saints Row 4: Re-elected and its ‘Gat out of Hell’ expansion enter in fourth.

Surprisingly, Call of Duty: Ghosts re-enters the chart at five. Sales were boosted by 401% following a retailer promotion.
