U.K. Charts: Battlefield 3 nabs the top spot

Battlefield 3 has muscled its way to the top of the U.K. All Format Charts following its launch last week, shoving Batman: Arkham City down to second place.

The DICE-developed military shooter has become the tenth biggest launch of all time in the U.K., and in its first week sold more units than all seventeen previous Battlefield titles combined.

Xbox 360 took the lion’s share of sales, with 53 percent of all BF3 copies moved on Microsoft’s platform. PS3 made up 29 percent and PC took 10 percent, though the latter number does not factor in digital download sales.
