Rage burns in the United Kingdom’s PC Charts
It has been seven days since the previous sales charts for the United Kingdom’s PC video games was released and the new week sees plenty of movement.
A title which had fallen from the top ten spots returns and there is movement at the top of the list as well, yet did FIFA 12 do enough to hold on to the top spot or was Rage’s opening week good enough to knock the football simulation game off its perch?
Starting things off at number 10 and it seems that StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty is benefitting from some late sales, as it makes its way back into the charts.
Although it only just made it to the top 10, the game has surprisingly sold extremely well in the previous week, considering how far along it is in its product cycle. Yet, while StarCraft 2 is flying on the Wings of Liberty, Football Manager 2011 is nearing
the sack.
Sega’s Football Simulation game is nearly out of the top 10, yet that is mostly because Football Manager 2012 is due to release near the end of the month. A free demo of the next instalment should be the final nail in Football Manager 2011’s top ten coffin.
No PC chart would be complete without a handful of Electronic Arts’ The Sims titles. This week’s chart, like nearly every previous week in recent memory, paints the same picture as The Sims: Medieval and The Sims 3: Late Night find themselves in the number
seven and eight spots respectively.
Augmentations seem to be doing the trick for Deus Ex: Human Revolution as the game is still displaying strong sales figures as it rounds up the bottom half of the charts at the number six spot.
It may have topped the charts a few weeks ago but F1 2011 seems to be lagging behind the rest of the pack as it falls to the number five spot.
The Sims 3: Generations is still popular with the masses of PC gamers in the United Kingdom as the expansion pack is selling like hot cakes on a cold winter’s day and comes in at number four.
FIFA 12 was at the top of the charts in the previous week and is still selling well after a record breaking opening week, however, it seems PC gamers have other things to get mad about apart from conceding goals in the last minute.
The Sims 3 is still in second spot, which means that the number one selling game for the previous week was Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic first person shooter Rage. The game debuts at the number one spot despite the fact that a number of PC copies of the game
came with the wrong drivers.
