UK Sales Charts: Project CARS Remains at the Front of the Pack

Here's an amazing bit of trivia for you: Project CARS is the first Bandai Namco published title to secure two consecutive weeks at the top of the UK charts since Ridge Racer Type-4 over 16 years ago. The simulation game saw a sizeable drop off in sales compared to its launch week, but was uncontested by the physical version of Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, which finished in second.

Grand Theft Auto V continued to flex its evergreen status in third position, and has now moved five million units in the UK. Elsewhere, the excellent Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster blitzed its way into fifth position following its PlayStation 4 re-release – an impressive feat for a game that's now deployed on no less than four different Sony systems.

Meanwhile, the top ten was rounded out by an array of familiar faces: FIFA 15, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Dying Light, Destiny, and Battlefield Hardline. We suspect that Bandai Namco may be rubbing its hands together right now, as the coming weeks are sure to be dominated by The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – another game that it's publishing in the UK.
