UK PS3 charts: The revenge of the FPSs

Submitted by MeEdIC on Wednesday, 11 February 20094 Comments

Welcome back. You're a regular here, so why not follow us on Twitter too...

canted hybrid2 UK PS3 charts: The revenge of the FPSsHere we are once again to report on the weekly sales of PS3 games in the United Kingdom. Since we entered 2009, new releases have been scarce, with only Skate 2 and Lord of the Rings: Conquest managing to achieve high sales. As it was expected, people had to make do with what was on the market. As a result, First Person Shooters made a dynamic comeback, with Call of Duty: World at War returning back on top. But CoD: WaW wasn’t the only FPS that made the Top 10.

Find out who outsold who in Chart Track’s UK charts for week ending 7 February 2009…

1. Call of Duty: World at War (Activision Blizzard)

2. FIFA 09 (Electronic Arts)

3. LittleBIGPlanet (Sony Computer Ent.)

4. Resistance 2 (Sony Computer Ent.)

5. Skate 2 (Electronic Arts)

6. The Lord of the Rings: Conquest (Electronic Arts)

7. Grand Theft Auto IV (Take 2)

8. Need For Speed: Undercover (Electronic Arts)

9. Guitar Hero: World Tour (Activision Blizzard)

10. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Activision Blizzard)

This week we don’t find any new surprises in the charts, since – as we mentioned earlier – we had no new releases. It seems that gamers made a U-turn to the past, by choosing to buy titles such as Resistance 2, Grand Theft Auto IV and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Wait, what? Modern Warfare on the Top 10?

As the title implies, FPS titles had their revenge this week, with Resistance 2 climbing to the fourth place and CoD 4 in the 10th. If you include CoD: WaW in the mix, you have 3 First Person Shooters in the Top 10. And Killzone 2 isn’t even out yet..

    Haven’t played Cod 5 of R2 yet, but I’m getting ready to take F.E.A.R. 2 for a spin. Please don’t sneak up behind me and yell Boo! It took me weeks to get the stain out from the last time someone did that.

      I take it you haven’t played Dead Space yet then. You probably wouldn’t be able to get those stains out. :-)

        I’m looking into my adult diaper options before committing to Dead Space. ;)

        LCaruana, you made me LOL big time! xD

        Judging from Danny’s trophy collection, he hasn’t played Dead Space yet. Danny, better get some Pampers; you’re gonna need them. :P

        Until then, let me entertain you by singing you a familiar tune (in a creepy voice, of course)…

        Twinkle twinkle little star how I wonder what you are
        Up above the world so high like a diamond in the sky

        When the blazing sun is gone
        When the nothing shines upon

        Then you show your little light
        Twinkle twinkle all the night

        Then the traveller in the dark
        Thanks you for your little spark

        He could not see which way to go
        If you did not twinkle so…

        P.S. Oh and Boo!
