The UK's bank holiday weekend meant a delay in the chart data, but it's here, and there's a bit of a shake-up. F1 2018 took pole position in its first week on sale, and Shenmue I & II wasn't far behind, debuting at number two in the chart. This of course means that Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy's reign is over; it's had to settle for third place after an eight week stint in the top spot.
The remainder of the top 10 is about as you'd expect, and features all the usual suspects. God of War is holding firm once again in sixth, while The Crew 2 and FIFA 18 rejoin the best sellers in ninth and tenth place respectively.
As usual, you can find the full top 10 below.

It's finally over, the empire of the Bandicoot has been toppled!
Great to see Shenmue up there, and who would think that God of War would still be in the top ten by the time Spiderman comes out?
Yes! Shenmue!
F1 2018 looks great. I was at Spa-Francorchamps this weekend and was watching Stoffel Vandoorne playing this game in the fanzone. Man, that circuit is amazing!
Wonder how many people have been left bitterly disappointed by Shenmue — people who have never played it before. That's a stat I'd love to see.
Great to see Shemnue there at number 2, as the physical version I've not seen in any shops (I went digital as I have the Dreamcast versions).
@ShogunRok As for potential disappointed purchasers, well, I always figure its best to check reviews and a bit of gameplay before you buy a game, with Shenmue there is plenty of information out there... hey, the series may even get some new fans.
How is the Crew 2 still in the top 10 I thought the game was universally panned?
Great news for Shenmue. Bought the original on the Dreamcast back in the day and Shenmue 2 on Xbox but never played them. The PS4 re-release sat in my house may be my time to finally give it a go.
Congrats Codies!!!
Is it bad that i own 7 of the games in the top 10?
