Halo 3 UK sales high, but fall short of GTA record

Last week's UK game sales numbers were released today and surprise, surprise, Halo 3 sits high atop the pile. According to calculations from UK media sales group Chart Track, Halo 3 topped the UK game charts and in the process doubled Xbox 360 console sales to their highest levels of the year. But records weren't smashed, because Halo 3 wasn't able to dethrone the behemoth that was Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas' record setting sell through from its PS2 glory days. Though, we don't think Bungie will have have a hard time accepting a second place UK all-time sales record, because they still have their $170 million record setting Halo 3 launch in the US and nobody can take that away from them. Ha!
