UK Charts: Modern Warfare Slots Top Spot

Modern Warfare 3 has blown up the charts this week. It’s number one, of course. If you didn’t see that coming, you’re either a blinkered fool or a hopeless romantic. It may not have been quite as successful as Activision hoped though, UK sales seem to be down in comparison to Black Ops’ first week, despite Activision claiming big increases in users.

Elsewhere in the charts, Skyrim picks Battlefield 3’s pocket to take the second spot and EA’s own big seller, FIFA 12 is still in the top five at number four. Uncharted 3 still has a firm grip on the top ten at number six Batman is holding strong too. Zumba Fitness must have sold gajillions by now, it seems to have been in the top ten forever but then, just outside of this chart, at number 23 is Mario Kart Wii. Now that’s a long tail.
