Activision's
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed has stormed the
latest UK video game charts like... a Sith Lord storming some charts.
It's Number 1. In fact, it's Number 1 on every format under the sun except the Wii (Number 3) and the DS (aaallll the way down at Number 39). 48% of the sales were on the 360, while the PS3 got 30%. That makes it the 10th best-selling game ever on each format.
Nintendo follows that up, with renewed stock pushing
Wii Fit and
Mario Kart Wii up three places to Numbers 2 and 3 respectively.
EA suffers a bit, with
Mercenaries 2 dropping 65% of its sales to fall to Number 6. It's the only publisher other than Activision to get fresh titles into the Top 40, however, with
Warhammer Online breaking in at Number 4 and
Crysis: Warhead landing at Number 21.
Also, the Apocalypse started in earnest today, with SEGA's
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games dropping out of the Top 10 to Number 13.
Activision Blizzard does well out of
Guitar Hero III, with the game rocking up at Number 12, an impressive 15 place climb on last week. It doesn't do quite so well out of
On Tour, however, with the handheld game dropping waaaayyyy down from Number 8 to Number 23.
Next week, watch out for
Wario Land: The Shake Dimension,
Pure and
Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway.
