Bad Company Continues to Dominate UK Sales Charts

Posted on Jul 22, 2008

This week's UK sales charts showed little change over the previous week, as strong sellers continued to perform and no new contenders were released. Battlefield: Bad Company, Beijing 2008 and Grand Theft Auto IV remained the top three selling games in the UK for the second week in a row. The olympic sports title continues to be a stong performer, despite a string of negative reviews from critics. The late, great port of Unreal Tournament III made an appearance in the top ten this week, but surprisingly was not able to rise higher than the number 4 spot.

It will be interesting to se what happens next week, when Soul Calibur IV arrives to crack some heads simultaneously in Europe and North America.
