RETAIL CHARTS
[RETAIL ANALYSIS] by James Batchelor
FOOTBALL fever has gripped the nation. As Euro 2012 heats up, EA’s FIFA 12has risen back to the
top of the All Formats Top 40. It’s the first time the title has held No.1 since January.
FIFA 12 has been a permanent fixture in the Top Five for the 38 weeks it has been available in the UK. Its predecessor, FIFA 11, only managed 23 weeks in the Top Five during the equivalent period.
UBISOFT’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldierslips to No.2 after three consecutive weeks at the top. But thanks to strong sales of the Xbox 360 SKU, the Tom Clancy shooter is still the best-selling title in the Individual Formats chart.
Max Payne 3also drops one place to No.3, followed by the first of two new entries: Lollipop Chainsaw, the new Suda 51 title published by WARNER BROS. Sales were led by the Xbox 360 version, which also took No.4 in the Individual Formats Top 40.
The new release this week was SONY’s Vita adventure Gravity Rush, which debuts at No.11. It’s the 29th boxed product to be released for Vita, and the ninth from Sony.
SQUARE ENIX’s latest RPG Heroes of Ruindidn’t make it into the Top 40 in its first week, but it did take No.5 in the Nintendo 3DS charts.
Diablo III returns to the Top Ten after a few weeks’ absence. With its stock shortages solved, the BLIZZARD RPG rockets from No.22 to No.6.
The rest of the Top Ten is taken up by regulars, including Battlefield 3, Sniper Elite V2, Mario & Sonic: London 2012 and Dirt Showdown. Last week’s new release Game of Thrones hold on to a Top Ten position at No.7.
