Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 led unit sales charts in the UK for the ninth consecutive week, as Sega-published Bayonetta debuted at number five, Chart-Track said Monday.
Activision and Infinity Ward's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 led unit sales charts in the UK for the week ended January 9, Chart-Track said Monday. It's the ninth consecutive week that the game led the UK charts. The firm said that Modern Warfare 2, after only its eighth week on the market, became the "third-biggest game ever in terms of UK history unit sell-through." On Chart-Track's all-platforms chart, which lumps together sales of all versions of a given title, Modern Warfare 2 led top-selling Wii games including Nintendo's Wii Fit Plus and Wii Sports Resort, and Ubisoft's Just Dance. Making its debut on Chart-Track's top 40 list was Sega and Platinum Games' top-rated action game, Bayonetta, which placed fifth in the rankings. Bayonetta is currently earning a 91 on reviews aggregator Metacritic, and has earned several perfect scores from video game reviewers. Platinum Games was founded by former members of Capcom's Clover Studio, and is also responsible for the stylish MadWorld for Wii and the DS RPG, Infinite Space. Another high-profile title making its debut on the charts is THQ and Vigil's new action-adventure game Darksiders, which landed in the eighth spot. The game launched alongside Bayonetta on January 8 in Europe. UK All-Platforms Top 10 1. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Activision) 2. Wii Fit Plus (Nintendo) 3. Just Dance (Ubisoft) 4.
