The first game launched with the console in Europe. There was basically no other game to play at the time on the console, so most owners must have picked it up at the time leading to large opening sales.
I live in Ireland which is almost always counted into UK data. I bought the first Resistance at launch, I haven't bought the second one yet, but I certianly want to. I'm sure there are plenty others like me.
Also the fact that Sony have the prices hiked to an astonishingly high €70 per first party title doesn't help first party sales in Europe. (Gears 2 for comparison is selling at €49.)
