*******************************
There is a super hero tussle at the top of the charts this week, however Lego Batman 2 (-17%) comfortably sees off newcomer The Amazing Spider-Man to hold on to No1. Activisions film tie-in has to settle for No2 with 56% of sales on the Xbox 360 version, 42% on PS3 and remainder shared amongst Wii, 3DS and DS. There are a total of 3 new entries in the Top 5 with 2K Games/Take 2 entering at No3 with Spec Ops: The Line, followed by the debut of Segas London 2012: The Official Video Game at No4. As a result FIFA 12 (-12%) takes a tumble, falling from No2 to No5. Tom Clancys Ghost Recon: Future Soldier slips down the chart from No3 to No6 despite sales only down by 4% thanks to its launch this week on PC. The new Dawnguard DLC for Skyrim must have played a part in the successful former No1 climbing one place up to No7 (+121%). Take 2 and EA are the only publishers this week with more than one title in the Top 10 with Max Payne 3 (-20%) at No8 and Battlefield 3 (-17%) at No9. The launch of Metal Gear Solid HD Collection (+532%) on PS Vita propels it back into the Top 10 at No10 and to the top of the Vita chart by a large margin. Its one of the biggest Vita launches outside the consoles first week, only a small number behind Unit 13 and Gravity Rush. Another HD Collection is only one place behind as The Ratchet & Clank Trilogy: Classics HD on PS3 is new at No11. Retailer promotions give both Mass Effect 3 (+101%) and Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary (+101%) a boost, the former up from No36 to No15 and the latter back in the Top 40 at No21.
