It has been a great week for Xbox 360 and Fable II. When Little Big Planet was caught up in a religious mess, the field was wide open for Peter Molyneux's latest game to take top spot. Saints Row 2 manages an impressive second week, and Far Cry 2 completed a 1-2-3 for Xbox 360 with a total of six Xbox 360 titles in the top 10. Dead Space found it hard to compete with more established franchises this week, but still managed decent positions while Midnight Club: Los Angeles failed to make much of an impact.
This is how Charttrack sum it up... keep in mind that they refer to the all formats list were all versions of any given title are bunched together:
"It is Microsoft's first All Formats No1 since ‘Halo 3', over a year ago, and is the first game to be developed by Britsoft team Lionhead to reach the top of the All Formats Chart, outselling the original Fable's launch week by 3.81 to 1. ‘Fable II' also becomes the 5th fastest selling Xbox 360 game ever in the UK, behind ‘GTA IV', ‘Halo 3', ‘FIFA 09' and ‘Call of Duty 4'. Sales of ‘Pro Evolution Soccer 2009' take a dive this week, falling 58%, dropping from No1 to No4, while sales of ‘FIFA 09' are down 24%, moving it down one place to No3, making way for Ubisoft's ‘Far Cry 2' which debuts at No2. Launched across Xbox 360 (43%), PS3 (33%) and PC (24%) Ubisoft's critically acclaimed FPS is only one of several new entries to make the All Formats Top 10 with EA's ‘Dead Space' at No6 and Rockstar/Take 2's ‘Midnight Club: Los Angeles' at No10. ‘Saints Row 2' also makes way for the newcomers, dropping 2 places to No5, while ‘Lego Batman' is down 3 places to No7, staying ahead of ‘Wii Fit' and ‘Mario Kart Wii', both down 3 places to No's 8 and 9 respectively."
