BioWare’s Mass Effect 2 took the top spot on the UK chart during the week ended January 30.
Well received by critics and consumers, the sci-fi sequel sold two million copies globally in its first week of availability, according to publisher EA. First week UK sales on Xbox 360 were almost double those achieved by the original Mass Effect, and three times higher on PC.
Ubisoft’s Just Dance slipped to second after two weeks at the UK chart summit, while Modern Warfare 2 also dropped one place to third.
The week’s second highest new entry was Sony’s PS3 exclusive MAG, which debuted in fourth place, ahead of Nintendo’s Wii Sports Resort.
