Train2Game students see a new No.1 this week, with FIFA Street topping the UK charts. It marks a third top spot for EA in a row, with the publisher achieving top spot with Mass Effect 3 last week, and SSX the week before that.
Those two games drop to No.2 and No.3 respectively, with another EA title in FIFA 12 a non-mover at No.4. Mario Party 9 is the highest placed non-EA title at No.5. Mario also sits at No.6 as part of Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, while price reductions help RAGE shoot up thirteen places to No.7.
You find out more about RAGE, and get advice on getting into the industry from Creative Director Tim Willets in this extensive Train2Game Blog interview from last year’s Gamescom in Cologne, Germany.
Zumba Fitness moves up two to No.8, while Assassin’s Creed: Revelations is a non-mover at No.9. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 completes the top ten.
Twisted Metal is the highest placed new entry, reaching No.12 in its first week of sales.
The UKIE Gfk Chart-Track All Formats Top 10 for the week ending 17th March 2012 is therefore as follows:
1: FIFA Street – EA Sports
2: Mass Effect 3 – EA
3: SSX – EA Sports
