Battlefield fights to maintain UK number one

By GameSpot, published 11-07-2011

DICE's shooter retains the top spot, while Uncharted 3 debuts at number two, Sonic Generations in the top 10.   EA's heavy-hitter Battlefield 3 maintained the top spot for a second week in the UK All-Formats chart, fending off newcomer Uncharted 3. This is a record for any game in the series, with previous game Battlefield: Bad Company 2 being knocked from its top position by Final Fantasy XIII in the second week. BF3 managed to cling to the top spot despite a 54 percent drop in sales since launch week. Drake didn't quite have the guns to overhaul Battlefield 3. Battlefield's multiplatform nature prevented Uncharted 3's sales figures from blasting it from number one, with Uncharted 3 instead settling at the not-unexpected number two slot. Sony's exten...

The Sims 3: Pets was the third and final new entry this week's top 10, entering at six. A range of preorder incentives may have helped Arkham City's week-one sales.
