Last week's UK sales are in, and it seems that, sometimes, you can't beat the classics. Burnout Paradise topped the UK chart back when it released on PS3 in 2008, and that initial success has repeated itself, with Burnout Paradise Remastered in pole position. According to GamesIndustry.biz, the PS4 version of the game accounted for 78% of physical sales.
Elsewhere in the chart, Grand Theft Auto V remains within the best sellers yet again, though it did slip down to fourth after enjoying another week at No.1. Devil May Cry HD Collection didn't quite crack the top 10, settling for 13th in its opening week.
Here's the full top 10. Check it out, and drift into the comments below to let us know your thoughts.

@Cpt_Price lol nice joke
Let's keep the comments on subject, please - no need to provoke each other.
4 Nintendo exclusives and a Xbox console exclusive in the top 10. I cant seem to find a Sony exclusive anywhere.
🙄🔫
@get2sammyb hey Sammy why do you have a red dot on your forehead?
Folks even if Nintendo & M$ take over the Top 10 Games the people of the UK ofc will more likely buy PS4s over Switches/Xbox’s I’m sure from a marketing standpoint in the UK you’ll be more advertised a PlayStation 4 rather than a Xbox One Of any kind (Reg, S, or X ) or the Nintendo Switch.
@Cpt_Price PS4 still tops em week on week
No Monster Hunter?
@Splat Monster Hunter is 15th
People read way too much in the software Top 10. You can track how certain games are doing (to an extent), but you can not track how well a console or publisher is doing honestly.
This is a slow week. Burnout Paradise Remastered shoots to number one, without a big marketing campaign. That tells you a lot already.
Rule of thumb is that all games behind GTA V don't sell high numbers. Last week GTA V was #1 and it fell 44% in sales this week. And it still manages #4 spot.
These are physical charts. Nintendo's market is more of a physical market than the competition. So without full numbers it's really difficult to have an indication.
As much as there's 4 exclusive Nintendo games in there, there are also 6 games in there that don't appear on Switch at all.
But i think it's safe to say that Kirby is doing pretty good. Better than I expected as well. From what I gathered the game wasn't anything special either.
@Splat can’t stay in the Top 10 forever...
But we can say that about many games...
@Kidfried More or less, yes. The lack of digital data makes these charts even less meaningless to be honest.
Well they're not meaningless, but like you said, you can't read TOO much into them.
@Kidfried That's not true. There is FIFA 18 on Switch and after the price cut it's been performing relatively well.
So 5 out of top 10 are playable on Switch
5/10 on PS4
6/10 on XBone
So XBone is winning, not.
Individual format charts are quite interesting as well. There are 5 Switch games on it, 3 on PS4 and 2 on XBone. https://www.chart-track.co.uk/index.jsp?c=p/software/uk/latest/index_test.jsp&ct=110032
@Kameli3 Ah, I didn't know about FIFA. Thanks for the correction. It doesn't really detract from my bigger argument. Like you point out, the six Xbox One titles in there in no way indicate that Microsoft is doing the best.
My console is better than yours
@Ichiban my big red button is bigger than yours
Lol
Very lazy remaster with a bad price point but still a blast to play.
@ZAKtheRIPPER better get Best Buy gamer's club unlocked, got it for $33
@Quintumply the subject is a sales chart that features Nintendo games. How was the banter off topic?
@faint The conversation was beginning to devolve into asinine fanboy nonsense as opposed to a discussion about the sales chart.
Grand Theft Auto V i think people use them as coasters? Or do they sell only 50 games a week?
Why can gamers be friends?
