Project CARS has held on to the UK No.1 for two weeks in a row – the first title from Bandai Namco to do so since 1999’s Ridge Racer Type 4.

Despite sales falling 64 percent week-on-week, Slightly Mad’s racer managed to fend-off new release Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, which enters the charts at No.2. Bethesda’s shooter proved far more popular on PS4 than Xbox One, however, selling over twice as many units on Sony’s console. 67 percent of boxed copies of The Old Blood were sold on PS4, compared with just 27 percent on Xbox One.

GTA 5, meanwhile, falls one place to No.3 following a 25 percent drop in sales, but Rockstar will still be celebrating as it passes a total of 5 million units sold in the UK.

Mortal Kombat X also drops one place to No.4 but lands ahead of Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster, which re-enters the chart at No.5 following its release on PS4.

Last year’s FIFA 15 and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare continue to sell well, too, at No.6 and No.7, with Dying Light, Destiny and Battlefield Hardline landing at 8, 9 and 10 respectively.

With over 1 million copies already pre-ordered, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt looks a dead cert to make its debut at No.1 next week – taking Bandai Namco’s run to three consecutive weeks at the top. Destiny could also see a slight bounce back up the charts following the release of its latest expansion pack ‘House of Wolves’, which lands on all-formats digitally tomorrow.
