Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy spends 4 of its 5 weeks since release at UK No.1

By Shabana Arif

This week’s chart looks very different thanks to price promotions, but Crash hangs on at No.1.

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is on a roll, having spent four of its five weeks since release at the top of the UK charts.

Fans of the series might be interested in the news that the game is rumoured for an Xbox One release. If it proves true, Crash can look forward to another shot at the top of the charts later down the line.

Last week, Crash almost lost the top spot to Splatoon 2, with under 700 units separating them.

Splatoon 2 remains at No.2 and GTA 5 isn’t budging from No.3.

While the top three have been static since last week, both Crash Bandicoot’s and Splatoon 2’s sales are down by 28% and 56% respectively, while GTA 5’s sales are up 19%, according to GamesIndustry.biz.

Thanks to price promotions and hardware bundle deals, the rest of the chart has had a shake-up, with Bethesda reaping the benefits as three of their titles shoot up into the top 10. Fallout 4, Doom, and Dishonored are at No.4, No.5, and No.6, having all experienced over a 100% rise in sales.

Nintendo’s new 3DS release Miitopia enters the charts at No.7, while Hey! Pikmin only made it as far as No.29.

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands is also back in the top 10 after a price cut, enjoying a 94% bump in sales.
