The latest addition to the list of Star Wars games stormed the top spot in the charts last week, yet did it do enough to hold off the likes of Mass Effect 3 and FIFA?
It has been another week of wheeling and dealing in the United Kingdom’s video game industry and there has been plenty of movement in terms of which games occupy which spots in the weekly video game sales chart.
Electronic Arts continue to dominate the charts when it comes to the most titles in the top ten released by a single publisher. Their first of many titles in the charts is the return to the snowboarding series, SSX, which comes in at number ten.
Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games manages to hold on to a top ten spot as it finishes in at number nine, though one can see sales spiking once the Olympics actually get underway.
The second EA entry in the charts is the tactical modern-military first-person shooter, Battlefield 3, as it settles in at number eight with Bethesda’s epic action RPG, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, finishing one spot above it in seventh.
Another blockbuster of a game finds itself just outside the top five as Activision’s best-seller, Call of Duty; Modern Warfare 3 ended the week at number six.
Teeing things off in the top five for another week is Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13 as it manages to hold on to the number five spot for another week, while Kinect Star Wars falls off the top spot and crashes in at fourth.
FIFA 12 just cannot seem to stop selling copies of itself as it finishes the previous week in third with Mass Effect 3’s ending not deterring too many fans from purchasing enough copies of the game for it to settle in second place.
That means that FIFA Street takes the top spot as it marks a brilliant comeback to prove once again that the return to the classic series is a triumph for EA.
That is it for this week, be sure to check back next week for more chart news.
