Black Friday week proved so enormous that the UK sales charts were delayed over 24 hours due to a system error at a major retailer. It's not surprising, though, as retail software sales increased by 60 per cent compared to the previous week, with hardware sales jumping by eight per cent year-over-year. Despite this, the total revenue made on software actually decreased by 10 per cent compared to 2014.

Irrespective, one game that particularly profited from the period was Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, which soared up to fifth position in the all formats charts. The game's sales – buoyed by heavy bundling – increased by 999 per cent compared to the previous week, which is quite a staggering statistic. Various other PS4 exclusives like The Last of Us Remastered and Until Dawn also enjoyed significant boosts.

But the real story is that launch title Knack actually re-entered the charts in 30th position, presumably off the back of some heavy retailer discounts. If you've been praying for a PlayStation Plus version of the Japan Studio developed exclusive, then you may want to put your hopes aside – it's obvious from this impressive result that Mark Cerny's creation still has legs at retail.

As for the Top 10 itself, soccer sim FIFA 16 beat off strong competition to top the league this time out, while Call of Duty: Black Ops III, Star Wars Battlefront, and Fallout 4 fleshed out a ferocious looking top four. Grand Theft Auto V proved that it's still as popular as ever in sixth position, while Minecraft: Story Mode spun a yarn in seventh place. Did you buy any games on Black Friday? Let us know below.
