Ben-DutkaIt's one of the best games of the new generation, and UK gamers are proving they read game reviews: Fallout 3 has topped the PS3, 360 and PC sales charts in the UK during the first week of the title's availability.
According to GamesIndustry.biz, first-week sales were actually 57% higher than the first-week sales for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion , and Fallout 3 quickly knocked the former #1 – Fable II – off its lofty perch. Other games that cracked the top 10 in the weekly sales department were EA's FIFA 09 , which now holds the #2 position, the globally popular Wii Fit , Far Cry 2 , and Saints Row 2 .
