~175k in the UK for RE5 by the way...

Yeah, my rough estimates are inline with this.

In fact sales of Resident Evil 5 are slightly more than the combined sales of all the remaining All Formats Top 10 titles.

My rough estimates have the "combined sales of all the remaining All Formats Top 10 titles" at somewhere around 177k:

01 RESIDENT EVIL 5: 180k / NEW    
02 WII FIT: 34k / ????k
03 TOM CLANCY'S H.A.W.X: 29k. / 65k   
04 PROFESSOR LAYTON AND THE CURIOUS VILLAGE: 24k / ???k   
05 KILLZONE 2: 19k / 175k   
06 FIFA 09 : 17k / ????k   
07 CALL OF DUTY: WORLD AT WAR: 15k / ????k   
08 EMPIRE: TOTAL WAR: 14k / 62k
09 HALO WARS: 13k / 118k
10 MARIO & SONIC AT THE OLYMPIC GAMES: 12k / ????k 

There's a decent margin of error in these though. Applying these to the individual formats top ten we get something like:

01 XB360  RESIDENT EVIL 5: 99k / NEW
02 PS3 RESIDENT EVIL 5: 81K / NEW
03 WII WII FIT: 34K / ????K    
04 DS PROFESSOR LAYTON AND THE CURIOUS VILLAGE: 24K / ???K
05 PS3 KILLZONE 2: 19k / 175k    
06 XB360 TOM CLANCY'S H.A.W.X.: 15K / 34k
07 PS3 TOM CLANCY'S H.A.W.X.: 14K / 31k   
08 PC EMPIRE: TOTAL WAR: 14k / 62k
09 XB360 HALO WARS: 13k / 118k    
10 PS3 SOCOM: US NAVY SEALS CONFRONTATION: 12K / NEW

Once again, a decent margin of error, so should be regarded as ballpark figures. All 100% extrapolated, so multiply by .9 for ELSPA Sales Awards.

With two more weeks until ELSPA's March ends we're looking at Silver awards for both versions of RE5 (slight chance of Gold for X360 version if it doesn't see the usual 50% week 2 drop off), KZ2 probably going to just miss out on Gold Award, so should claim a Silver along with Halo Wars and both versions of SFIV. Neither versions of HAWX will get an award, and E:TW looks unlikely to either.
