Dead Space 3 is number one

Sci-fi shooter leads familiar line-up.

Dead Space 3 marched its way to the top of the UK multi-format sales chart this week, shooting the arms off the opposition as it climbed to number one. Given the time of year and the typically slow sales of the post-Christmas period, it's not a surprising result, but it's one that will likely please EA nonetheless.

In another relatively static week for sales, the usual suspects cling to their respective top five spots, with the only major movement coming in the form of Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, which dropped down to sixth after a considerable slump in sales.

Dead Space 3 goes straight to number one. As expected.
