Burnout Paradise tops UK Charts

Posted on January 29th, 2008 at 05:57 EDT

The latest instalment in Electronic Arts’ highly successful Burnout series, Burnout Paradise, has debuted at the top of the UK All Format charts this week.

Both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game proved immensely popular with consumers, with Microsoft’s console accounting for 53 per cent of overall sales, and 47 per cent going to Sony’s platform.

Elsewhere, PS3 continues to make a dent in the charts with Infinity Ward’s ubiquitous Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare continuing to sell well, along with Ubisoft’s historical action/adventure title, Assassin’s Creed.

Stay tuned for our review of Burnout Paradise here at PSU in the coming weeks.

Wasn’t impressed with the demo, maybe it wasn’t a fair representation of the game.

@cool6611 Criterion is owned by EA. What have you got against EA? They publish some of the best games out there and indeed develop some cracking titles. This game is fantastic and I cant recommend it enough tbh.

@H3Lix EA on the whole suck, mostly with their sports franchise, you cant deny that they role out sloppy so called new games that have bearly anything changed.

But sticking to the topic Burnout Paradise is a top game, the only anoying thing is that if you loose a race you have to drive all the way back to the checkpoint to retry again, other than that its SUPER fast and top fun, well done criterion

i was having a difficult time trying to decide what game i should add to my slowly building collection.  but after downloading the demo and reading up on it a little more, i think i've come to a decision.  i'm going to buy this game.

    YOU have all MISSED the most important part of this news item the split in sales the split in sales 53% to 360 - 47% to PS3 now there are more 360's in the UK than PS3'S at the moment so its sold really well on PS3 other DEVELOPERS take note good games do sell well on PS3 not just the 360!!!!!!!

Yes i think developers should take note with the percentage difference.  There may be more 360's out there but they are obviously all not buying.

360 version may have sold more in UK, but according to vgchartz.com worldwide sales are 360 : 78K and PS3 : 99K. I know vgchartz arent the best, but still, check it out.
