Forums - Sales - UK top 40: Crysis 2 leads 3DS pack

Eurogamer

The UK all-formats chart is rocked by a raft of new arrivals this week, the best selling being EA's blockbuster shooter Crysis 2, which tops the list.

A chunky 58 per cent of Crysis 2 sales go to Xbox 360, with 27 per cent on PS3 and 14 per cent on PC (excluding digital sales). Those percentages leave 1 per cent unaccounted for.

Fellow newcomer LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars is second.

Last week's leader Homefront falls to third.

3DS launch title Super Street Fighter IV finishes fourth.

The other 3DS newcomers making the top flight this week are Pilotwings Resort in sixth, The Sims: Medieval in eighth and Rayman 3D in ninth.

Super Monkey Ball 3D and Ridge Racer 3D just miss the top 10, placing 14th and 15th respectively.

Other 3DS launch titles making the top 40 are: Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 in 18th (multi-format), Nintendogs Cats: Golden Retriever in 20th, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars in 34th and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell 3D in 39th.

How well the 3DS hardware sold we're yet to find out.

Nice pair too by the looks of things.

Not necessarily. Homefront sold 290k last week. Black/White sold 113k each (as for some reason these people decide to split up the two). They're each likely to be at 80-90k now, so all we really know is that Homefront didn't drop by over 66% from week one to two. It could have dropped nothing at all, though, we simply can't conclude anything from these numbers.

(Note that I'm using the VGChartz European data, and UK habits are slightly different than the rest of Europe's, so expect some minor errors from that).

 

I'd rather say it means Pilotwings had a poor opening (<100k for EMEAA seems likely), Street Fighter a decent one (100-200k for EMEAA).
