Homefront blitzed the UK's wallets last week, taking the top spot on
Chart-Track's all formats chart. According to Chart-Track data obtained by
Eurogamer, format purchasing for the new IP was quite lopsided, with 70 percent of total retail
Homefront sales being on Xbox 360, 26 percent on PS3 and the four percent remainder (which does not include digital distribution) on PC. Due to the invasion
the prior week's top two,
Dragon Age 2 and
Pokemon White, slipped down one spot each, leaving BioWare's well-received RPG in second place.
Beyond
Homefront, the UK saw several solid premieres last week. PC-exclusive
Total War: Shogun 2 found an honorable place in fourth, while multiplatform tennis sim
Top Spin 4 just missed out on the top ten in the 12th spot. Taking a trip further down the list, we find
Yakuza 4 debuting at number 25.
