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.

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