Final Fantasy XIII-2 has broken FIFA 12’s reign at the top of Chart Track’s UK Software Sales this week by claiming the No. 1 position for itself, thus becoming the first new chart topper of 2012 during its debut week on sale.
EA Sports’ FIFA 12 has retained the top spot on Chart Track’s UK Software Sales listing to rack up its sixth consecutive No. 1 position, upping the title’s life-to-date chart victories to eight in total.
EA Sports’ FIFA 12 has managed to appear at the top of Chart Track’s UK Software sales listing for the fifth time in a row, allowing the football sim to claim a total of seven weeks at No. 1 since release.
Despite a massive 54% drop in sales compared to last week, FIFA 12 has managed to top Chart Track’s UK Software Sales listing for the fourth week in a row, taking the football game’s total weeks at the top to six.
In the very first Chart Track UK Software Sales listing of 2012, EA manages to clinch both first and second places in the chart with FIFA 12 (sales down 63%) and Battlefield 3 (sales also down 63%).
Every year, bookies place bets on which videogame will take the top spot on Chart Track’s UK Software Sales chart over the Christmas period (people will bet on anything), and in past years, a FIFA football title from EA Sports or a Call of Duty game from Activision have always been the firm favourites.
Could the bookies have predicated that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim would have occupied the top slot for two weeks in a row to authoritatively become the Christmas No. 1 in 2011?
After four weeks of domination, Chart Track’s UK Software Sales listing has been rescued from the reign of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, but we now have a new master to answer to.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is that master, and thanks to a price reduction in the region and a sales increase of 145%, Bethesda’s epic action RPG has climbed to the top of the UK’s software chart, up from No. 5 last week.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has managed to maintain the top position on Chart Track’s UK Software Sales listing this week, despite a whopping 41% drop in sales compared to the previous week.
Despite the release of some of 2011’s most anticipated games across all platforms, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was still able to top Chart Track’s UK Software Sales listing this past week, even with an 87% drop in sales compared to the week previous.
A whopping nine new games entered Chart Track’s Top 40 this week, and five of those managed a Top Ten placement, while eight of these new titles slipped into the Top Twenty.
In a turn of events that will surprise no-one, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has topped the latest UK Software Sales Chart after becoming the biggest launch of an entertainment product ever, in the history of everything, last week.
In what must have been a close fight, Battlefield 3 has retained its position at No. 1 on Chart Track’s UK Software Sales listing, denying Uncharted 3 a chance to debut at the top of the chart.
Battlefield 3 launched into retail in the UK last week and effortlessly rocked the top spot on Chart Track’s latest UK Software Sales listing, becoming the UK’s tenth biggest week-one seller in terms of units sold, and the ninth biggest by revenue.
Warner Bros. Interactive and Rocksteady Studios’ latest blockbuster action adventure game, Batman: Arkham City, has hit the top of Chart Track’s UK Software Sales listing this week to become the fourth biggest videogame launch in the UK this year, following in the footsteps of other big name titles like FIFA 12, Gears of War 3 and LA Noire.
Microsoft and Turn 10’s latest racing sim, Forza Motorsport 4, has shot straight to the top of Chart Track’s UK Software Sales listing this week to claim No. 1 ahead of previous chart bully, FIFA 12, by a little over 700 units.
FIFA 12 has once again cemented its place at the top of Chart Track’s UK Software Sales listing after its dominant showing last week, except at the expense of a few new games releases.
