Modern Warfare 3 nukes UK charts, many seek refuge in Skyrim
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, the game that sold 6.5 million copies on its first day, couldn’t help but be at the top of the UK charts last week (filed under: duh!). In the region, MW3 had sales that put it on even footing with last year’s Call of Duty: Black Ops in terms of units sold, but it grossed more revenue in its opening weekend than the prior entry.
It’s not all modern warfare — there’s also plenty of the fantastic, medieval variety going on. Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim placed second, but merely because it launched in the shadow of MW3. Skyrim sold twice as many units as Fallout: New Vegas, the publisher’s previous largest launch. Skyrim also became the fifth largest launch of the year, follwing MW3, FIFA 12, Battlefield 3 and slightly behind Gears of War 3.
