We love charts here at Player Attack, and one of the highlights of our week is receiving the latest details from UKIE, who send us the 40 best-selling titles in Britain, as announced by the The Association for UK Interactive Entertainment.
Believe it or not, after a tumultuous launch week which saw the game roundly written off by just about everyone who touched it, Kinect Star Wars is still #1 in the UK. Even more impressive – it’s the first Star Wars title to hit the coveted top spot since late 2008, when The Force Unleashed did the deed. Even even more impressive: It’s the first game which requires Kinect to top the chart, too. Congratulations, guys – looks like the people who matter still care about dancing with Han Solo.
Meanwhile, Devil May Cry HD Collection slunk in at #18, and kids games Skylanders and Moshi Monsters did very well for themselves in the Easter sales, catapulting right back up to #12 and #13 respectively.
