UK Chart: Uncharted Vita Takes Top Spot!

Dan Lee 53 Comments

Well would you look at this – Uncharted: Golden Abyss has taken the top spot in the UK Chart! In fact, there are a number of Vita games scattered about with FIFA, Rayman and WipEout 2048 all making the top 20 (although WipEout deserves to be much higher in my opinion).

Outside of the top 20, Ridge Racer enters at 28, Virtua Tennis 4 at 30, Everybody’s Golf at 32, and Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 at 33. The Last Story, a fantastic Wii Action RPG debuts at 15, and you can expect our review soon.

It’s a shame we can’t see the digital sales for the Vita launch line-up.

  1. UNCHARTED: GOLDEN ABYSS – SONY COMPUTER ENT.
  2. FIFA FOOTBALL – ELECTRONIC ARTS
  3. UFC UNDISPUTED 3 – THQ
  4. FIFA 12 – ELECTRONIC ARTS
  5. RAYMAN ORIGINS – UBISOFT
  6. MARIO & SONIC LONDON 2012 OLYMPIC GAMES – SEGA
  7. SYNDICATE – ELECTRONIC ARTS
  8. CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE 3 – ACTIVISION BLIZZARD
  9. BATTLEFIELD 3 – ELECTRONIC ARTS
  10. FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 – SQUARE ENIX EUROPE
  11. WIPEOUT 2048 – SONY COMPUTER ENT.
  12. THE ELDER SCROLLS V: SKYRIM – BETHESDA SOFTWORKS
  13. SKYLANDERS: SPYRO’S ADVENTURE – ACTIVISION BLIZZARD
  14. JUST DANCE 3 – UBISOFT
  15. THE LAST STORY – NINTENDO
  16. ZUMBA FITNESS – 505 GAMES
  17. FALLOUT: NEW VEGAS ULTIMATE EDITION – BETHESDA SOFTWORKS
  18. THE DARKNESS II – TAKE 2
  19. RAGE – BETHESDA SOFTWORKS
  20. SAINTS ROW: THE THIRD – THQ

In terms of Vita sales, the Wi-fi version accounted for nearly 80% of sales (against the 3G version) and both Uncharted and FIFA made up 50% of software sales, showing how strong the footy title is here in Europe.

  1. Agreed that its a shame we can’t see the digital sales – I would be interested to see where MotorStorm RC would slide in.

    • Also, Superstardust Delta looks amazing, I wonder where that would fare!

      • Yeah very true – although I guess the likes of Fifa and Uncharted would still be where they are, since they could also be downloaded – but it would still be interesting!

      • Near is telling me that Motorstorm RC, followed by Uncharted, Dynasty Warriors and FIFA are the big ones in Cork.

        At least, that’s what I think it was telling me…

      • Lol – I don’t have a clue how Near works, I’m very confused by it!! but apparently 2 other people in my street have Vitas. One of them best have Uncharted so we can trade treasures!

  2. No Binary Domain. Guess the Hight Street doesn’t get East-West crossovers, plus there was little in the way of advertising. Shame, I thought it decent…

    • Entered at 35. Didnt even know it was out, there’s been bugger all PR.

      • Yeah, apart from an e-mail from Game trying to flog me their wares, i wouldn’t have known it was out either.

        Hasn’t made it past a 7/10 on reviews i have seen though & whilst that isn’t a bad score, perhaps people just didn’t wanna take the risk on another 3rd person shooter that wasn’t extra special in some way.

        Plus, they needed to know it was out to buy it. :S

    • Well its by the devs of Yakuza so BD being silent isn’t a surprise, looks great don’t think people would be sick of the type of game really just low-key marketing…

  3. So is this A) An excellent win for Sony or B) A sign that you only need to sell a tiny amount of games to top the charts?

    • A lot of people were complaining about the low sales in games these first months of the year. Still, looks like a great start for the Vita.

    • Like being No.1 in the music charts after Christmas?

  4. Three Vita games in the top 5! Great start!

  5. Fantastic to see Rayman so high and without the aid of GAME it makes it even more impressive.

  6. A disappointing No. 35 for Binary Domain, will probably further convince SEGA’s money-men to only back projects involving Sonic

    • That’s bad indeed. SEGA has been releasing some quality games recently. Their PSN efforts have been more effective though it seems.

      • Haven’t most of those been Sonic though?? :S

  7. Good on Sony, off to a good start for once!

    It’s heartening to see.

  8. Great start for Vita and Sony. Let’s hope they can keep the momentum going.

    • Yep, shows what a good launch line-up can do. I was only going to get one or two but ended up with four, not including the free ones.

  9. PS Vita FTW. I don’t remember a 3DS game being number 1 in its launch week.

  10. Cool, no doom & gloom PSVita stories then. . .well for 1 day at least:D
