‘Dead Space 3’ debuts comfortably at No1 with the biggest launch of the year so far, knocking ‘Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch’ (-63%) down to No6.  The new title’s launch sales are 26.6% down on ‘Dead Space 2’ which also debuted at No1, just over 2 years ago.  The Xbox 360 version accounted for 65% of sales, PS3 31% and PC 4%, while ‘Dead Space 2’ was split 56% Xbox 360, 40% PS3 and 4% PC.  There is no change at No’s 2 to 5, which means EA have the top 2 games this week – ‘FIFA 13’ (-9%) a non-mover at No2.  ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops II’ sales are down 12%, but a 3% rise in sales of ‘Far Cry 3’ is not enough to push Ubisoft ahead of Activision Blizzard, while ‘Hitman: HD Trilogy’ holds on to No5 despite a 30% fall in sales.  There isn’t much movement in the tail end of the Top 10 either with ‘Need for Speed Most Wanted’ (-17%), ‘Just Dance 4’ (-15%) and ‘Hitman Absolution’ (-19%) all stationary at No’s 7 to 9.  ‘Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed’ is up 8 places to No10 (+50%), accelerating into the Top 10 for the first time since its launch 13 weeks ago, boosted by a new 3DS version.

good to see dead space doing terribly.

No surprise to see Ni No Kuni tumble, I feel people really over_estimated it.

I wonder what nintendo is thinking, I expected bad sales for wiiu but not like this.

Isn't this chart software sales.

EDIT: Oh nvm I forgot this was you

Angry Birds Trilogy in the top 40? Really? That game is a steal.

UK, I thought you knew better.

Either way he's right.

True.

Anyways, about Dead space 3, its gonna hit wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy below expectations. And can't say I didn't see this coming.

Yeah with all the reviews its been getting I doubt it'll selling very much compared to its prequels.

Good to see Uncharted 3 still going in the top charts!
