Not even the huge hoopla surrounding the start of the Association Football World Cup finals in Brazil could force Ubisoft's Watch Dogs off the top spot in the UK video game charts. Even with a 47% fall in sales compared with last week, the cyber-thriller managed to keep 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil off the top.
Chart-Track picks up on the World Cup theme stating that the footy means that it's not, "surprising that EA’s 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil (+16%) is the Top 10’s highest climber, up from No6 to No2, ahead of Wolfenstein: The New Order (-21%) which sneaks up one place to No3. Mario Kart 8 (-33%) is only a hundred sales behind as it slips from No2 to No4. FIFA 14 (-26%) doesn’t get the same boost as its World Cup stable mate, but still manages to hold on to No5, while EA’s non-footballing title Titanfall (+1%) does well to jump 3 places to No6, perhaps strengthened by reports of it getting a big update this month.
Both Minecrafts are non-movers with the Playstation 3 Edition (-16%) still at No7 and the Xbox 360 Edition (-8%) still teetering at No10. Call of Duty: Ghosts remains a strong Top 10 performer, holding on to No8 with sales only dipping by 11%. In its second week, sales of Square’s Murdered: Soul Suspect fall by 52% positioning it at No9. Despite it being a quiet week, there is still room for a new entry with CI Games (formerly City Interactive) debuting at No19 with World War II themed FPS [i]Enemy Front’.
