Well it's UK so MP3 beating Diablo III is not that surprising especially as that doesn't include digital sales. Elsewhere in Europe Diablo should absolutely crush MP3 (especially in Germany lol).

Not really in this case, Diablo 3 was cheaper for the Physical product than it was on steam. just like Mass effect 3 and Origin. And there was some very beneficial trade ins at Game for Diablo 3. |
Diablo III is not on steam...

PSP Lifetime more than PSV+3DS Lifetime.

Spinning really? There was a 8k gap between Max Payne 3 PS3+X360 and Diablo III retail
considering almost as many people play PC games from digital download as retail in the UK

it is safe to to say that more than 8k copies from the UK were sold digitally
add to that Diablo III and Max Payne have the same RRP and that PC games don't have a Platform Royalty, and all digital copies of DIII are sold via Blizzard directly.
It is obvius that Diablo III made more money for the publisher, that isn't spin that is facts
This would be spin: Diablo III likely sold much better than Max Payne, this clearly shows console gaming is dead!

d3 has a lot of digital sales especially counting that wow players got it for free if they bought one year of wow.
Being in 3rd place never felt so good
