Sony's proving a particularly fierce competitor in the UK, as it refuses to let Microsoft get a foothold. You may have seen our story last week on the PlayStation 4's success in Britain, but the Japanese giant's not resting on its laurels. It launched a series of new bundles over the weekend, which spurred PlayStation software up the charts.

Indeed, the likes of FIFA 15, The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited, and Battlefield Hardline all enjoyed massive bumps on the back of these promotions. First-party titles such as God of War III: Remastered, The Order: 1886, and Bloodborne also rallied – the latter two of which re-entered the best sellers list in 23rd and 24th position respectively.

Despite all of this, it was a relatively quiet week for new releases, with LEGO Jurassic World reclaiming the top spot just ahead of Batman: Arkham Knight and Grand Theft Auto V. What have you been spending your summer money on of late? Cough up in the comments section below.
