Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is new king of UK sales charts

It's debatable whether or not the server crashing this past week was a symptom of
Battlefield: Bad Company 2's success. What isn't debatable is the game's explosive debut on the UK's
Chart-Track all-formats chart. The multiplayer-centric shooter, which we've been
thoroughly enjoying, outsold the original
Bad Company's launch week numbers almost 3 to 1. According to Chart-Track,
BC2 is the "best ever launch for any game released this early in the year." Interestingly, 53 percent of
BC2 sales went to the Xbox 360 version, followed by 31 percent and 16 percent of sales for the PS3 and PC, respectively. (The game also topped the three, individual platform charts.)
Of course, lurking in the corner was
Just Dance. The game will not go away and continues to stay in the top three
week after
week after
week. Last week's top game,
Heavy Rain, slipped down to fourth and the battle of
Aliens vs. Predator held onto third. Check out the complete top ten after the break.
