RETAIL CHARTS
[ANALYSIS] by James Batchelor
SQUARE ENIX finally topples 505 Games’ long-running chart champion with the release of Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
The game debuted at No.1, and was just 26,000 units short of outperforming the lifetime sales of predecessor Deus Ex: Invisible Warin just two days. Xbox 360 was consumers’ preferred platform, accounting for 57 per cent of sales, followed by PS3 with 37 per cent. 13 per cent of sales were for PC.
Meanwhile, Zumbadrops to No.2. Had it remained at the top for one more week, it would have equalled FIFA: Road to the World Cupas the title with the longest consecutive No.1s, with 11 weeks under its belt.
However, 505 GAMES made up for this with the strong debut of Rugby World Cup 2011. The title took No.3 and was just 400 sales short of matching Zumba. It also came in at No.2 in both the Xbox 360 and PS3 charts.
The only other new entry was NINTENDO’S Inazuma Eleven at No.39. It placed at No.3 in the DS Top Ten.
ACTIVISION’SCall of Duty: Black Opssaw an 83 per cent rise in sales thanks to price promotions and the release of new map pack Rezurrection. It climbed to No.5, the first time in four weeks that the game has placed in the Top Five.
Elsewhere DISNEY holds on to two positions in the Top Ten, with LEGO Pirates of the Caribbeanat No.4 and Cars 2at No.6. The latter knocked the Top Ten’s second LEGO title, LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 down to No.9.
Finally, new pricing for UBISOFT’S Assassin’sCreed: Brotherhood propelled the game back into the Top Ten, up from No.19 to No.10.
