Gears of War 3 versus FIFA 12 on United Kingdom Xbox 360 Charts
The Xbox 360 charts in United Kingdom usually tend to follow trends which are slightly different from the rest of the charts. This may be down to the availability of exclusive titles or due to the fact that it has earned a reputation of being a bit hardcore
of the current generation of consoles.
Gears of War 3 managed to break a number of records in its opening week and with FIFA 12 releasing just a few days later, it would be interesting to see if the 360 would maintain its trend or get in line like the other charts.
It may be selling better on PCs but it seems that Xbox 360 gamers are tiring of THQ’s Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, as it slips down to the number 10 spot. One can expect this game to fall into the lower places come this time next week.
Jumping back into the fray and shoving its hidden blade into the back of the number nice spot is Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood. Be it the recent hype Assassin’s Creed: Revelations has received or the lower prices of the game, it seems Ezio Auditore’s second
adventure is back in the charts.
Activision must have a tear in their eye and a huge balance in their bank account, as Call of Duty: Black Ops is still selling strong in United Kingdom despite the fact that Modern Warfare 3 is barely two months away.
505 Games are still reaping rewards and are ahead of BlOps on seventh place, as the hype from the actual Rugby World Cup is boosting the sales of their game, which goes by the same name.
Driver: San Francisco marked the first Driver game to hit the current generation of consoles and it seems fans just cannot seem to get enough of it as it manages to race its way to the number six spot.
Killing zombies with a few friends must be one of the best forms of stress relief and it seems plenty of people, and their friends in United Kingdom are stressed out as Dead Island is still hanging around at number four.
F1 2011 is still selling strong on the 360 but the surprise has to be at the top two spots. Football is always number one in United Kingdom as FIFA 12 has knocked Gears of War 3 off its perch to claim the top spot in Xbox 360 charts in its first week.
FIFA 12 shoots, FIFA 12 scores.
