UK chart: Batman wings again
As PS3 Slim launch shakes list.
Updated on
Batman: Arkham Asylum leads the UK All-Formats charts, finishing ahead of Wii Sports Resort for a second consecutive week.
The launch of the PS3 Slim shook things up noticeably as people rushed to partner their new consoles with games.
Popular picks were Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, which sold 128 per cent more copies to surge from 10 to three - its highest finish in a long, long time. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10, Fight Night Round 4 and Call of Duty: World at War had similar, if more tame, boosts.
PS3 exclusives LittleBigPlanet and Killzone 2 reappeared in the late twenties, too.
New entries this week were aerial dog-fighter IL-2 Sturmovik at six, Dissidia: Final Fantasy at 10 and Champions Online at 18.
