UK Chart: Crysis 3 lands top, Aliens: Colonial Marines sales drop 84%
Crysis 3 and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance finish in first and second place, but neither manages to beat Aliens: Colonial Marines' opening weekend.
EA's Crysis 3 has taken pole position in the UK charts, firing an arrow into the chart dreams of the disappointing Aliens: Colonial Marines. Gearbox's first-person shooter saw an 84 percent drop in sales and finishes in fifth place.
Konami's Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance lands in the second spot, with 5,500 sales separating first and second place.
It's the first week this year that there has been a new number one and number two in the charts. However, neither managed to shift as many copies in its opening weekend as Dead Space 3 or Aliens: Colonial Marines, which still holds the record for biggest-selling opening week of 2013.
Elsewhere, the ever-reliable FIFA 13 hangs around in third, followed by Call of Duty: Black Ops II in fourth. Dead Space 3 is sixth, Far Cry 3 is seventh, Need for Speed: Most Wanted eighth, Assassin's Creed III ninth, and Hitman: Absolution tenth.
