We have the UK charts for you, and Uncharted 3 has done very well. It has sold 37% more than Uncharted 2 and sold 116,000 copies in 5 days. Battlefield 3 is at the no 1 position and has already estimated to have sold 5 million worldwide.
EA’s ‘Battlefield 3’ holds off the competition to hold on at No1 despite a 54% drop in sales from last week. It’s the first time a Battlefield title has retained the Top Spot as the last iteration, ‘Battlefield: Bad Company 2’, was only No1 for its debut week before being dethroned by Square Enix’s ‘Final Fantasy XIII’ back in Week 10 2010.
This means that Sony and Naughty Dog’s latest installment in the PS3 exclusive Uncharted series, ‘Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception’, has to settle for second place, recording the 11th highest PS3 launch week. It achieved an increase of 37% in sales from the previous title, ‘Uncharted 2: Among Thieves’, which also debuted at No2 over two years ago, pipped at the post by another EA title, ‘FIFA 10’.
