Did Forza Motorsport 4 beat FIFA 12 in the Xbox 360 sales charts in the United Kingdom?
FIFA 12 has been selling like hot cakes on a chilly winter day since its launch. Yet with Forza Motorsport 4 and Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 entering the market as well this previous week, did the Electronic Arts title do enough to hold on to its perch?
10. Dead Island: in desperate need of a Downloadable Content pack to expand on the brilliant cooperative zombie survival experience, Deep Silver’s Dead Island finds itself on the edge and in danger of falling into the abyss, which is not
the top 10.
9. Dead Rising 2: Off The Record: The second zombie themed game in the charts, Dead Rising 2: Off the Record can be considered a reimagining of Dead Rising 2, as the game sets about putting the player in the same situation as Chuck Greene,
but with a few extras.
8. Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge: The Rugby World Cup may be nearing its climax with New Zealand and France set to take each other on in the final, but that in itself seems to have boosted sales for the game titled after one of the Black Caps
greatest ever rugby players.
No prizes for guessing who the United Kingdom are supporting for the final.
7. F1 2011: the Codemasters’ title has gone from pole position to a lowly seventh. Yet, it managed to thrill gamers and delivered one of the most authentic and engrossing F1 experiences to date. However, it seems that its time in the sales
charts is nearing its end.
6. Dark Souls: unforgiving, punishing yet challenging and fair, Dark Souls seems to be providing just enough of a challenge for gamers to keep them coming back for more. To be honest, no one was expecting this game to match the sales of
FIFA 12 or Gears of War 3, yet in its own right it is a best seller.
5. Pro Evolution Soccer 2012: it seems that the game that was once revered as the best football simulation game in existence has fallen behind its competitor as it debuts at a slightly disappointing fifth place.
4. Gears of War 3: a fitting end to one of the greatest gaming journeys in recent history, Gears of War 3 is still doing the business as far as sales figures as concerned as it still holds on to a top four spot in the charts.
3. Rage: Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic shooter may not be the most refined shooter yet the freshness factor seems to have gamers willing to fork out their cash for the game. Something the publisher will not mind.
2. FIFA 12 and 1. Forza Motorsport 4: It seems that for the time being fast cars seem to be trending more than football in the United Kingdom as Forza 4 takes the top spot in its debut week. EA Sports will not mind though as their title
is still selling well.
