LEGO WON'T LET GO

18/Jul/2016

Warner’s ‘Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ (-45%) holds on to No1 for a third week in a row.

The only other Lego title to spend more consecutive weeks at No1 is ‘Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes’ with 5 weeks back in 2012. A retailer’s shopping event day gives a boost to several previous chart toppers with ‘Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End’ (+152%) jumping four places to No2, ahead of this week’s highest new entry, ‘Monster Hunter Generations’ on 3DS at No3. ‘Grand Theft Auto V’ (+91%) and ‘Fallout 4’ (+85%) also benefit, climbing from No7 to No5 and No20 to No10 respectively. Hardware bundles were included in the sales event leading to ‘Zoo Tycoon’ and ‘Kinect Sports Rivals’ from Microsoft’s Xbox One Holiday Bundle shooting back in to the Top 40 at No’s 11 and 12. Promoted titles outside the Top 10 also enjoy sales increases with ‘Batman: Arkham Knight’ (+113%) up 19 places to No13 while ‘Guitar Hero Live’ (+789%) re-enters the Top 40 at No15.

Uncharted 4 will cross 10 million this year.

Damn! Uncharted 4 is doing much better than I thought.

If Uncharted 4 is still no 1 then some of these new releases must not have sold very well at all. Hope people are getting tired of these lego games. They suck.

I thought I heard this Lego game was one of the best selling lego games so far.

Maybe Uncharted 4 is just still selling really well?

Also many are saying this is by far the best lego game, and its got really high review scores.

Nice to see Quantum Break, Zoo Tycoon, and Kinect Sports Rivals back in the charts.

Uncharted 4 back at number 1 and managed to beat monster hunter!!! It's such a beast.

Where are the people who said U4 would have no legs gone?

I'm glad UC4 is showing good legs. The initial drop was pretty significant, likely because the first week was inflated by everyone who'd been explicitly waiting for the game, but it seems word of mouth and series recognition have helped keep it going strong.

Still, good legs or not, they're still the legs. We aren't going to be talking about huge numbers (relatively speaking). That it's continued to place so highly for so long doesn't paint an amazing picture for the rest of the chart.
