I think its good for a year old port. and it will likely remain in the top 50, as slowly people drift in to get it. supprised to see GT5 at no. 9. and supprised to see no Kinect Adventures and instead Kinect Sports.

It's hindered by shortages according to Bioware.

KA isn't counted, it's bundled SW.

Yeah, this makes sense, its probabily the combined sales of both 360 and PS3 software, so thats why Call of Duty is only on the chart once, AC Brotherhood probabily counts for both the 360 and PS3 sales, which explains why GT5 would be at no. 9.



Reasonable on 24 January 2011

Great game, great british developer.  Nice to see it getting decent support.  I suspect the actual sales probably aren't massive - LBP is for sure a legs title vs a huge opening spike - but still, nice result for the title.

ME2 I think is fine given that a fair percentage of UK must have it on 360 or PC.  It'll do okay and will pave the way for ME3 to launch big multi-platform which is what it's all about anyway.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
