Beijing 2008 Races to Top Spot in UK Sales Charts

As we predicted last month, there have been some significant changes in the UK sales charts as a flurry of recent game releases have added some competition to the mix. Neither Soul Calibur IV nor Madden 2009 managed to sieze the top spot this week, however. Perhaps British gamers are more fond of proper sporting competition, so they opted for the considerably more civilized olympic games simulator from Sega.

UK Sales Charts for Week Ended August 16, 2008:

1. BEIJING 2008 SEGA
2. SOULCALIBUR IV
3. BATTLEFIELD: BAD COMPANY
4. MADDEN NFL 09
5. CALL OF DUTY 4: MODERN WARFARE
6. GRAND THEFT AUTO IV
