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.
Looks like mixed reviews haven’t had much of an impact on the sales of one particular title this week – I guess people need to see it for themselves… With the news that gaming’s most notorious pair (no, not Sonic and Tails) are in the top spot, everybody else has just bumped down a spot, the toys, the wild west and the dancing. All in all, it’s pretty much what you’d expect.
