[KAGE360]

QUOTE

The worldwide release of Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter last Friday has done wonders for the game in the UK market. Entering the chart at number 2 (second only to a multiplatform FIFA release: FIFA Street 2), the Xbox 360 exclusive title is now officially the fastest selling Xbox 360 title in the UK. This is a testament to the value of simultaneous worldwide releases if they're done right (ie: no shortages thank you very much).

Other interesting tidbits from this week's UK games chart:

The Xbox 360 version of Fight Night: Round 3 outsold the PS2 version by a factor of 2:1 -- evidence that high def sweat, blood and tears really does sell games.
Seven out of the top ten games were EA published titles.
Alongside GRAW, there were two new entries: Lemmings on the PSP (No.12) and Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max (No.22)
Will Ghost Recon be able to take the number one spot next week with the release of the original Xbox version, or will the release of 24: The Game, Burnout Revenge for the Xbox 360, and Commandos Strike Force mess it all up for Ubisoft?

i find it sad when an xbox game outsells a ps2 game (20 million vs. 60-80 million units sold) but its really bad when a 360 game outsells the ps2 version.

of course it outsold it... who would want to play Block Head Boxing...  

This is all good news, I think our European Gaming Brethren appreciate getting their console at the same time as the rest of the world.
