The Division smashes records for U.K.’s biggest ever Q1 launch

Tom Clancy’s The Division has debuted at no.1 on the U.K. All Format Chart, smashing records previously held by Gran Turismo 4 to become the biggest-selling Q1 release of all time in the country.

Publisher Ubisoft had previously confirmed that the action-shooter/RPG had become its biggest video game release of all time worldwide, besting previous record holder Watch_Dogs. It didn’t quite reach those heights in Blightly though, sitting in third behind Watch_Dogs and Assassin’s Creed 3.

Nonetheless, The Division still proved a huge success in the U.K., with the lion’s share going to the PlayStation 4 version at 54 percent and the Xbox One copy taking 45 percent. 

Meanwhile, Street Fighter V continues its seemingly inexorable journey to the lower reaches of the Top 40, dropping from 11 to 22 just four weeks after its release on PS4 and PC.
