Fifa 18 finished last week at number one in the UK. Five new releases have made it into the top 40 this week. Forza Motorsport 7 for Xbox One debuted at number two.
Ever since Crash Bandicoot sat on the top of the UK sales charts for several weeks on end, this trend has been kept alive by those who came after. This includes Destiny 2 and now Fifa 18. EA's simulation of the most important secondary thing in the World has actually had a stronger week 2 than last year because Fifa 17’s week two coincided with Take 2’s biggest new release of 2016, which pulled sales away a little bit.
Five new releases have made it into the top 40 this week, and these include Microsoft’s Forza Motorsport 7 for Xbox One which debuted at number two. Forza Motorsport 6 also debuted at number two in 2015.
