Destiny is biggest launch of the year, biggest new IP in UK

No surprise that Destiny lands at number one in the charts this week in the UK and it also took the crown of "biggest launch of the year" and "all-time biggest new IP launch" from Ubisoft's Watch Dogs.

Interestingly it was a 50/50 split between Microsoft and Sony as far as the sales of the game went PS4 (46%), Xbox One (36%), Xbox 360 (14%) and PS3 (4%), even with Sony bundling the game with PS4 and pushing it as an exclusive marketing wise. Surely, Bungie's longtime relationship with Xbox players played a part in that.

Elsewhere in the chart newcomers NHL 15 lands at number 7 and Bandai Namco's ‘Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution comes in at 10. Standalone expansion Infamous: First Light scores a respectable 17th place in the all formats chart as it launches as a physical product.
