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.
It’s something new! Something different! Something exciting! It’s Guild Wars 2! Looks like British gamers took note of Matt’s enthusiastic review and have been snapping this one up by the bucketload.
In fact, GW2 is officially the second largest launch ever for a (non-Warcraft) MMO PC title, coming close behind Star Wars: The Old Republic which launched late last year. While it had to settle for silver on that one, it can be very proud of another achievement: Guild Wars 2 is officially the first PC-only release to hit #1 in the All Formats chart since November 2010, when Football Manager 2011 had the honours.
