UK Game Charts: Call of Duty Black Ops 3 Sets New Record

It remains to be seen if Street Fighter 5 manages to creep up in sales once more updates are released. Sales weren't high enough to knock Black Ops 3 off the top of this week's UK All Formats Top 40 chart, however, despite sales of Activision's shooter falling by 25% week-on-week.

Street Fighter 5 had a strong debut, but its sales couldn't match that of Street Fighter 4 on PC, Xbox 360 and PC which "remains the benchmark" till now. There were no major releases alongside it. It has been known that "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" from 2009 was the previous record holder for staying at the top for nine weeks, Video Gamer reported.

This Street Fighter couldn't beat its predecessor, Street Fighter IV. It could also be that there wasn't much content in the game at the start.

Unfortunately, the report didn't mention exact sales numbers.
