EA’s FIFA 16 makes it three weeks straight at No.1, now half way to matching the six week run by last year’s FIFA 15.
The ever popular football game managed to outsell Sony’s Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection which is new at No.2 and failed to match the No.1 success of Microsoft’s Gears of War: Ultimate Edition – though Marcus and co. only had the Locust and not FIFA to contend with.
The Uncharted Collection becomes the PS4’s eighth biggest launch of 2015 so far.
Destiny: The Taken King climbs one place to third, followed by LEGO Dimensions, Forza 5 and GTA 5 which jumps up to sixth.
Rock Band 4 launched last Tuesday, but can only manage 10th spot on the franchise’s return. The band-in-a-box game could well perform well in the coming months if gamers fancy rocking out this Christmas.
Elsewhere Activision’s Transformers Devastation is new at No.21 and looks likely to be another sales flop for the publisher – Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 falls from No.12 to No.28.

It’s a relatively quiet week for high profile new releases so we’d bet on FIFA 16 claiming a fourth week at No.1. The winning streak will likely end there, with both Assassin’s Creed Syndicate and Guitar Hero Live arriving the following week.
