MGSV: The Phantom Pain takes top spot in UK sales charts
GfK Chart-Track has published the UK sales charts for week 40 (ending September 5), and it shows Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain right at the top.
GfK reports:
“Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain lands Konami their first No1 of the year. It also marks the series’ return to the top of the All Formats chart for the first time since 2008. It’s a new week 1 high for the series beating the opening week sales of ‘Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty’ by just under 37%. It’s enough to put it at 3rd place in terms of first week sales in 2015 (behind Batman: Arkham Knight & The Witcher III: Wild Hunt). PS4 takes a commanding 72% share over Xbox One which has 22%, while PS3 edges to a 3% share over Xbox 360 with just 2%.”
Update: Here are the charts for the individual platforms:
