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.
This week, Lara’s still #1, holding off not one, but three new release contenders. Seems the UK buying public is still more interested in the experiences of Tomb Raider, at the expense of new God of War, StarCraft II and Sniper: Ghost Warrior – and this is despite a drop in sales of more than 70% for the latest from Crystal Dynamics.
This is the fifth time we’ve seen Kratos take to the charts, and while Ascension is the second biggest debut week in the series (surpassing God of War II from 2007), it’s not yet the best-selling title: The 2010 release of God of War III still holds that record, topping the charts in week 11.
