Forums - Sales Discussion - UK top 40: Dead Island still top

Nsanity on 19 September 2011

Eurogamer

Popular zombie-basher Dead Island is still top of the UK games chart.

Dead Island sold more copies in two weeks than any other game published by Deep Silver has managed in a lifetime.

Dead Island is also now outselling PlayStation 3 exclusive Resistance 3 on the PS3 platform alone.

Warhammer 40K: Space Marine, Resistance 3, Driver: San Francisco and Deus Ex: Human Revolution complete the top five.

From there, in order, are Zumba Fitness, Lego Pirates of the Caribbean, Rugby World Cup 2011, Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 and Cars 2.

The only top 40 newcomer this week is the God of War Collection: Volume 2 in 35th.

There's notable movement for the price-dropped Red Faction: Armageddon, which rockets from nowhere to 11th.

Sega's spooky Kinect game Rise of Nightmares had a much better second week, moving up from 35th to 18th.

The full top 40 will follow.

I think it was 3rd in Individual Chart. in ALL FORMAT chart it was 4th last week.. 

So it has infact risen.. not a bad sign.. althought should have hit the 1st.. but with being on Single format which is the lowest sold Console in UK its not bad.. only block buster AAA+ exclusive PS3 games can reach No. 1 in UK ..

but if it shows leg and have a good holiday season it might reach above 2 M, which will be impressive.. not mind blowing. :)
