UK Chart: GTAV becomes fastest selling game ever in UK

GTA V takes number one spot with 89 percent of sales for the week, while PES 2014 makes its debut at two.

217 Comments

Rockstar's critically acclaimed GTAV has stormed to the top of UK chart this week, becoming the fastest-selling game of all time in the region.

No Caption Provided

GTAV also becomes the overall 24th biggest selling title of all time in the UK, selling more in its launch week than all other GTA titles combined, and besting previous launch week record holder Call of Duty: Black Ops by almost a quarter of a million units.

On the individual platforms the game is even bigger, becoming the 11th biggest on Xbox 360 and 10th biggest on PlayStation 3 after just five days on sale. The split of sales between platforms is fairly even, with 57 percent on Xbox 360 and 43 percent on PS3.

Despite accounting for almost 89 percent of sales for the week, GTAV wasn't the only new entry to the chart. Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 made its debut at two, while Aliens: Colonial Marines re-entered the chart at eight thanks to retail discounting and promotion.

Elsewhere, The Last Of Us jumped up to three from 27, Saints Row IV dropped from one to four, and Harvest Moon 3D: A New Beginning makes its chart debut at 22.

The Top 10 UK chart for the week ending September 21:

1. Grand Theft Auto V
2. Pro Evolution Soccer 2014
3. The Last Of Us
4. Saints Row IV
5. Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist
6. Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition
7. Diablo III
8. Disney Infinity
9. Aliens: Colonial Marines

Definitely file this under the 'Shocking News' category. Good to see The Last of Us back up there with the new hardware bundle.

Seriously I would not play that game if it was given to me for free.

@AggrandizedUser You can do better than that. Next time try to incorporate some stinging humor to rile fans up even more. Average bit of trolling overall, i give it a 5/10.

@Slim_Lyrics @AggrandizedUser I doubt he's trolling, he's just giving his honest opinion and he's not the only person who thinks that way about The Last of Us.

I'm disappointed that Diablo III isn't higher in the list, a cracking game by all accounts. But I am delighted that GTA V is top of the list, what a steller game that has been made with such great attention to detail that it's worthy of the success.

@19James89 because diablo 3 was a lazy, boring and unimaginative game, infact the only thing that was good about Diablo 3 is the guy who voiced my profile picture was the male wizard.

@SiLenTWarrior29 Yeah, even in grahics, the explosion still wowed me after I've watched many next-gen game trailers, the explosions in my most anticipating next-gen game Titanfall totally look like butt compared to GTA5.
