It's debatable whether all the server crashing this past week was a symptom of Battlefield: Bad Company 2's success, but the game is certainly an explosive hit on the UK's Chart-Track all-formats chart. The multiplayer-centric shooter, which we've been thoroughly enjoying, outsold the original Bad Company's launch week numbers almost 3 to 1. According to Chart-Track, it is the "best ever launch for any game released this early in the year." Interestingly, 53 percent of BC2 sales were on the Xbox 360, followed by 31 percent and 16 percent on the PS3 and PC, respectively. For each individual format, the game topped its chart.
Of course, lurking in the corner was Just Dance. The game will not go away and continues to stay in the top three week after week, after week. Last week's top game, Heavy Rain, slipped down to fourth and the battle of Aliens vs. Predator held onto third. Cehck out the full top ten after the break.
