The UK, like the US, seems to be moving to a huge preference for online gaming (which RDR has and which seems popular) vs the SP only experience of something like GoW3 when it comes to games on HD consoles.. No doubt there are lot's of other factors, too. But like US I see in UK that Nintendo tends to dominate overall via the Wii, the big FPS are always around and then the occasionally biggie makes a splash like RDR.
Look at the split for titles like FFXIII UK to Europe for example - although that may be genre in addition to an SP only experience as I think turn based style strategy is also rapidly dropping out of flavour in UK vs real time gameplay.
It's actually a bit depressing as I'm not sure long term it's going to be that viable for so many gamers to lock themselves into a relatively small set of titles. And for sure Activision is going to move to some form of subscription if the bulk of sales are going to focus around such a narrow set of titles with others no doubt following suit. But that's getting a bit off topic I guess.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
