Arkham City swoops to UK number oneBy Brett Phipps


Fourth biggest launch of the year sees Batman: Arkham City top the UK Charts, Football Manager 2012 debuts in third; Dance Central 2 debuts at 40.


FacebookBatman: Arkham City romped to number one in this week's UK Charts, almost doubling the sales figures of its predecessor, Batman: Arkham Asylum. Football Manager 2012 also enjoyed a successful debut in third spot, narrowly missing out to FIFA 12 which clung to second place by a mere 1,800 units. The Sims 3: Pets was the third and final new entry this week's top 10, entering at six.

                               A range of pre-order incentives may have helped Arkham City's week-one sales.

Forza Motorsport 4 fell from top spot to fourth, while Rage saw the biggest drop in chart position in the top ten this week, falling from fourth to eighth. Just Dance 3 (5) and Zumba Fitness (9) continued to feature in the top 10.



A couple of high-profile new releases didn't fare so well, however. Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One entered at 24, while Dance Central 2 entered the all-formats chart at 40--with less than 10 percent of the sales of Ubisoft's rival terpsichorean title and not even making the Xbox 360 top 10.

Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure saw a climb up the charts from 16 to 11, while Mario Kart Wii continued to enjoy its resurgence in sales, moving from 19 to 13. It wasn't such a successful tale for Dark Souls and Jonah Lomu's Rugby Challenge, which both saw falls out of the top 10, from seven to 18 and 10 to 19, respectively.

1. Batman: Arkham City
