If only SFIV had knocked Wii Fit down for another week. Would have been an excellent top three.

Good showing for halo wars actually.
I reckon KZ2 deserved no 1 though.
It looks to be a great game.

Well, it suprises me a bit.

I would ahve expected Halo Wars to outdo it. Considering UK is like NPD – 70% .

Still the type of game halo wars is would mean a limited catchment audience normally imo.

Dont forget that it still bares the name ‘Halo’ Reask.

Which would be the reason it sold 3x what C&C did. Big name or not, it’s not going to work miracles with the RTS genre. :)

I accept that Gek but most folks would know it is a rts game rather than FPS.

urgh. crappy old wii fit beats SFIV. jesus :/
admittedly SFIV is split into two different lists. combine them and, one hopes, they would easily beat that waste of money.

It is number three on the combined formats chart. I’d link it… but the comment monster would just eat my post.
