Bad weather doesn't necessarily mean bad news, it would seem. At least, not if you're Sony and you're trying to break genres with cinematic noir thrillers like Heavy Rain and you've just earned yourself a Number 1 in the UK All-Formats Game Charts. It might be considered bad news if you're SEGA and you've just seen Aliens Vs Predator drop from the top spot to Number 2.
Gfk Chart Track points out that the Sony #1 is the company's "first No1 since Killzone 2 which was released this time last year."
