OVERWATCH KEEPS ON TICKING
13/Jun/2016
Activision’s ‘Overwatch’ (-44%) holds on to the crown for a third successive week, just beating off the challenge from EA’s ‘Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst’ debuting at No2.
The original ‘Mirror’s Edge’ was released on previous generation consoles PS3/360 back in week 46, 2008 and was something of a sleeper hit, having sold through only 60% of lifetime sales after 12 weeks (most major titles are usually north of 80% over the same number of weeks). Bethesda’s ‘Doom 3’ takes a third consecutive week at No3 (-28% ) and Sony drop 2 places to No4 with ‘Uncharted 4’ (-45%). In the week where Euro 2016 finally kicked off, Konami’s ‘UEFA Euro 2016 Pro Evolution Soccer’ makes the Top 10 for the first time since launch 8 weeks ago, up 6 places to No8 (-4%). Nintendo debut at No15 with 3DS ‘Kirby: Planet Robobot’ and completing the Top 40 new releases is Big Ben’s ‘Sherlock Holmes: The Devils’ Daughter’ for PS4, Xbox One, PC at No37.
