As is to be expected (it’s only the middle of March after all), newly released videogame titles are constantly jostling for position in sales charts and bragging rights, breaking sales records left and right in different regions around the world, and the UK sales chart is no different, constantly crowning a new ‘fastest selling’ title almost every week.

Last week, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 snatched the honour away from Aliens VS Predator, which had in turn taken the crown from Bioshock 2 (which had been stolen from Mass Effect 2). According to Chart Track, which game is the new fastest selling title in the UK for 2010 so far?

Why, the newly released Final Fantasy XIII, of course!

The console sales split in the UK is very interesting indeed – 54% of Final Fantasy XIII sales were made on the PS3, while 46% were found on the Xbox 360… close.

Final Fantasy XIII only just released around the world last week, and easily topped the UK Software Sales Chart in the process, appearing ahead of last week’s No. 1 selling game, Battlefield: Bad Company 2.
