Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls Ultimate Evil Edition is the first Diablo game to top the UK sales chart.

Blizzard's action role-playing game launched on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One and Xbox 360 last week. The Reaper of Souls expansion launched on PC earlier this year.

Diablo 3 launched on PC in May 2012 and entered the chart at number two. It launched on PS3 and Xbox 360 in September 2013. Ultimate Evil Edition includes the original game.

The PS4 version is the biggest Diablo 3 console launch, Chart-Track added, beating out the original Xbox 360 edition by 500 units. It should be noted that download sales are not included in Chart-Track's data.
