Charts: UK Weekly

"The Force is strong with this one." The latest Star Wars game The Force Unleashed pushed its way onto the top two position on the latest weekly sales charts from the United Kingdom. Its the biggest Star Wars launch week ever in the UK.

"Released across all major formats (PS2, PS3, PSP, XB360, Wii and DS), the LucasArts title storms to No1 in every chart except Nintendo Wii and DS (where it reached No3 and No39 respectively). 48% of sales were on Xbox 360 and 30% on PS3, making it the 10th fastest selling title ever for each format. The Wii version accounted for 15% of sales with the remainder on PS2, PSP and DS. ‘Star Wars: The Force Unleashed' may be the biggest all-formats launch since GTA IV, but Nintendo content themselves this week with success on their own titles as renewed stock of ‘Wii Fit' and ‘Mario Kart Wii' push them both up 3 places to No's 2 and 3 respectively."

As usual PC exclusives have a hard time in console friendly Britain, with WAR only managing fifth, Spore dropping to eighth and Crysis Warhead coming in at 16. Other notables include the Wii version of Guitar Hero III getting back onto the charts and Too Human climbing back up the chart to 19th from 32nd in its third week.
