We love charts here at playerattack, and one of the highlights of our week is receiving the latest details from ELSPA, who send us the 40 best-selling titles in Britain, as announced by the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association.
The post-Christmas sales didn’t really bring too much change to the lineup, with the same few games shuffling around a bit in the top 10. Soccer’s fallen from grace a little, but dancing is apparently more popular. Interesting.
(…and yes, that does read “Week 53” – apparently it’s what happens when the calendar lines up in a certain way.)
