A little later than usual thanks to a certain retailer not sending in their sales, we now have the official sales charts for the week that ended with Black Friday. Sales were up 60% compared to last week and price cuts and bundles have propelled FIFA 16 back to the top of the charts.
The rest of the top five jiggles around a place or two but the sales have brought a number of old games back in the charts with PlayStation 4 exclusives doing surprisingly well. The Last of Us: Remastered, Until Dawn and Knack (really?!) all jump back in the top forty, as does The Witcher III and Batman Arkham Knight.
The Nathan Drake Collection makes a huge jump, but Tomb Raider continues to fall which is a little puzzling when it was included in an Xbox One bundle.
Next week’s chart will find Just Cause 3 battling Rainbow Six Seige in the final chart of the year with new releases.

MrYd
Please tell me you at least thought about just pasting the list from Monday in with a couple of real paragraphs above it.

Thought Uncharted Trilogy would jump up. Was probably the best deal last week. £30 at most spots. Was enough to entice me into a purchase anyway.
AngryCoward
Game has more staying power than a new tomb raider Uncharted wannabe game.
However I suspect it’s more to do with the woefully small Xbox one installbase, about 1/4 of that of the ps4 in the UK.
The Lone Steven
Or Fallout 4 and SW: A new Letdown and BLOPs:DX edition being out before it. ;)
JR.
I think Knack gets a bad rap. I thought it was great.
TSBonyman
Knack must be at an attractive price point for those picking up a PS4 now.
Youles
I have 14 of a possible 31 of those games. I need to get out more.

I have 6. Fallout, Batman, Uncharted, AC Syndicate, GTA5 and Lego Marvel, which I think was actually one of the first games I got for my PS4?
The Lone Steven
I think Tomb Raider was sent out to die due to the wrong timing of release. Fallout 4, SW: Pay us cash for more maps and no SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!, BLOPS:The Deux Ex Machina being launched at the same time gave it no chance. They should have released it this month to be sneaky and to just miss those games. Bit ironic that UC:the Drake in shiny new pants collection is beating TR despite UC4 being delayed thus TR is still having to fight Drake for the crown of that genre. Or Drake just slept with Lara and sparked RaiderChartedGate 2015.
Fifa, unsurprising.
SW:BF, disappointing. F4, performing as expected. BLOPs(Sounds like the sound you make when you are in the loo).
