Ghost Recon Wildlands enters the UK All Formats chart at No.1, becoming the year’s biggest launch so far, and second biggest Tom Clancy launch behind The Division.

Somewhat surprisingly, the sales split for Wildlands is only 52:48 in favour of PS4, likely as a result of the continued strong sales of PS4 exclusive Horizon Zero Dawn in second spot, and new release Nier Automata at No.6.

Warner’s LEGO Worlds for PS4 and Xbox One takes third place, with Switch launch title The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild dropping two places to fourth, and GTA 5 also falling two spots into fifth.

Interestingly the Zelda sales split was much closer on week two, with 60 per cent coming on Switch and 40 per cent on Wii U.

Other launch Switch titles did their best to cling on, with 1-2 Switch down to ninth, and Super Bomberman R dropping to 21st.

The only other new release comes from Mario Sports Superstars for 3DS at No.37.
