The Top Three games in the UK remained unchanged last week, with Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare once again taking the number one position, according to the latest Ukie Games Charts, compiled by GfK Chart-Track.
This means that Activision’s shooter has spent the same amount of time in the top spot as EA’s fellow blockbuster FIFA 15 – eight weeks.
The latter game similarly clung onto third place, with Grand Theft Auto V sticking in second.
One big change in a week bereft of new Top 40 entries was the resurgence of Ubisoft’s Parisian stealth-action title Assassin’s Creed: Unity.
Unity saw sales shoot up by 25 per cent last week, following a retail promotion where the title’s average selling price fell by £5 from £32 to £27.
This resulted in the game jumping four positions to number four, ahead of the Xbox and PlayStation editions of block-building hit Minecraft at five and six, respectively.
The former retained its placing from the previous week, while the PlayStation version climbed three places, despite a six per cent drop in sales.
While Advanced Warfare cleaned up the top spot once again, fellow Activision shooter Destiny also saw success.
Sales of the sci-fi hit rose 15 per cent, leading the title to jump three places into number seven – its highest position so far in 2015.
Rounding out the Top Ten was Ubisoft open-world racer The Crew, up from 11th place the week before, meaning both Activision and Ubisoft had three games a piece.
