The UK All Formats, All Prices, All Singing, All Dancing, Mostly Sequels charts are in the house courtesy of Gfk Chart-Track. Last week's surprise-for-the-critics #1, Aliens: Colonial Marines (reviewed here) is knocked from its buggy roost by Crysis 3 (reviewed here).This, of course, means that
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (
reviewed here) doesn't get to #1 but instead sits at #2 in its shame.
So, what original IP featured in the chart Top 20? None. Zilch. Nada. Everything in the Top 20 is lovely and basically familiar.
Here's what Chart-Track says:
"Two new entries at No1 and No2 is a first for 2013, however neither's launch week can match those of previous No1s
Aliens: Colonial Marines or
Dead Space 3. There is a gap of 5,500 sales between the two newcomers with
Crysis 3 benefiting from also being available on PC as well as Xbox 360 and PS3. Xbox 360 is the lead format for
Crysis 3 with 57% of sales, while PS3 is the bigger seller for
Metal Gear with 61%. Four out of the eight UK All Formats No1 so far this year are represented by 3 different EA titles.
FIFA 13 is still proving popular, a non-mover at No3 with sales up 25% on last week.
Call of Duty: Black Ops II (+0%) is also a non-mover at No4.
"
Dead Space 3 (-54%) falls 4 places to No6, keeping it ahead of
Far Cry 3 (-21%) at No7 and
Need for Speed Most Wanted (+13%) at No8. The last two places in the Top 10 are occupied by an Assassin and a Hitman with Ubisoft's
Assassin's Creed III (-5%) at No9 and Square's
Hitman Absolution (-2%) at No10.
