The Division has claimed the top spot of the chart in its début week, and has set a new record in the process. The game has become the biggest ever Q1 launch, beating the record set by Gran Turismo 4 in 2005. For Ubisoft it is the biggest Tom Clancy game launch, and third strongest launch in Ubisoft history. Only Watch Dogs and Assassin’s Creed III were better in the publisher’s history.
The only other big release this week was the Hitman Collector’s Edition, which charted at 29. This edition does not contain a disc release, which was pushed back to 2017, but has a digital copy of the game instead.

Pretty terrible entry for Hitman. Can’t say I’m surprised with the model, and the fact they’ve told people the game will have a physical release further down the line.
