It seems everyone has been too busy watching the World Cup to go out and buy some new PS4 games. The latest UK sales chart is out, and for PlayStation at least, it's wholly unremarkable. God of War drops into third place, maintaining steady sales, and FIFA 18 is understandably holding firm in second. One of the week's new entries, Mario Tennis Aces, smashes into the top spot, but the rest of the top 10 is about what you'd expect.
Detroit: Become Human is still within the week's best sellers, though it has dropped a couple of places to sixth, while the ever popular Grand Theft Auto V is in seventh. It really is going to stay in the chart right up to Red Dead Redemption 2's release, isn't it? In fact, it'll probably go beyond that.
Here's the latest top 10 in full.
UK Sales Charts: Week Ending 23rd June, 2018
- Mario Tennis Aces
- FIFA 18
- God of War
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
- Fallout 4
- Detroit: Become Human
- Grand Theft Auto V
- Call of Duty: WWII
- Super Mario Odyssey
- PlayStation VR Worlds

Woah woah woah.
Hold the phone.
A Nintendo game at #1? The actual hell? I thought it underperformed given it was only #3 on the eShop!
I was expecting a discounted FIFA or GTA or something up there.
That is...most certainly a surprise...
Also have to say the legs on Detroit, God of War and Odyssey are seriously impressive. Still selling well enough after this time, and a VR game in there for good measure.
What a horrifically non-standard week
The Switch has done way better than I ever envisaged. I had Nintendos funeral plot lined up and they rose from the dead.
Great to see VR Worlds in the top 10 also. Destruction ball really needs a multiplayer mode.
@themcnoisy That's two UK number 1s for the system now. Both Mario Spin offs too.
That hasnt happened since the DS and Wii.
And you werent the only predicting death given...you know...a tablet that isnt even running at full pelt and functions entirely on a gimmick.
2 months and 1 week in the top 3 is gigantic for a game. Game of the generation. Word up, son.
Detroit performance is seriously impressive, I'm glad there's still hope for AAA 10 hour single player adventure games
I plan to buy mario tennis but I heard the story mode is lacklustre with only about 3 hour playtime, I though it's a full 10-20 hour rpg story
To be honest, on discussing UK sales charts: you can ignore all games beneath GTA5. Their numbers are so small, to the point where they're insignificant. Odyssey and VR World's in there doesn't tell you anything, might have been any two other games.
Also, like Sammy said, this is a slow week. Until we get actual numbers on Mario Tennis, God of War and FIFA18, these could be anywhere between 500 and 500,000. People read way too much in the dying sales of physical releases, especially in an insignificant week like this one.
God of War and Detriot are going steady nice to see. 😁
And on Mario Tennis. Buy the game for (local) multiplayer or don't buy it at all. That has been true for pretty much any Mario sports game, since the dawn of time.
Mario Tennis on GameCube was one of my most played GameCube games. But that's only because I had a friend living near me, who came over every Friday evening to play a few matches.
Imo God of war is already better than the other games, expecially FIFA. But I don't like soccer and tennis either...
Is GTA ever going to stop selling ? 🤔
@themcnoisy nintendo are gaming equivalent of the German of football team. Every time you think they are down, they find a way to recover. Good for the industry to have a strong nintendo mind.
I just bought Ni No Kuni 2 this weekend, but probably a little late for that to make a surge back into the top 10. Fifa has been discounted to 20 quid in time for the wc, ago not surprised to see that in second.
@JAMes-BroWWWn agree with you playa.best game ever word up son
God Of War is game of the generation no doubt! I’m sorry to have even finished it because I miss it so much now. Played Mario Tennis with my nephews and it’s a pretty silly game. It really has no structure and only sells because it’s for the “Mario” name in the title.
Looks like Mario Tennis Aces did well for itself over there, that's surprising.
Well, Wimbledon is almost upon us so, a good time to release a tennis game... Shame SEGA don't step up with a new Virtua Tennis really as I'd prefer that to a Mario theme. I noticed God of War was down to £35 pounds in a few shops lately, I really want to pick that game up at some point, just other stuff to play through first.
Nintendo did well even if Aces is suppose to be rather disappointing.
BOY!
@AhmadSumadi Not sure what you mean by that. The gameplay in Mario Tennis is very solid, and there's a way to counter everything, even the special shots.
The only disappointing thing about Aces is the campaign, which is only about 3 hours long and is more of a tutorial than anything. This is a local and online multiplayer game at its core.
I work in gaming retail and the past week has been quietly torturous!
Who the hell is still buying gta 5? And at retail when they're are millions of cheaper used copies on eBay? I bet Daniel Radcliffe is responsible for purchasing every copy he can find.
FIFA sucks. Go outdoors and play the game.
Two Nintendo titles in the top 5? Not bad for Sonyland.
we need an actual inquest into GTA 5
