I enjoy Prototype, but I never expected it to do as well as it's been doing. For some reason, the completely original IP that hasn't been given a huge push by Activision has actually made its way to number one in the UK Charts. It debuted at number two last week and I expected it to drop a few places. This is surprising news indeed.
Ghostbusters debuts at number four, but otherwise it's the same old story, with Wii Fit, World at War and other UK Chart mainstays putting in their regular appearances. Oh, and inFAMOUS has slipped right down to number 18, probably because of our totally correct and proper review. Hit the jump for the full list.

Most new titles come out at number and then drop.
Sigh.
Is that a young you in the middle? :P
No it wasn't. inFAMOUS debuted at number five and went down from there.
Oh that Layton, always editing posts. Dick.
I live in the UK. I went into my local GAME and Gamestation stores to see inFamous sitting at the number one spot on several occasions.
Oh well if a store said so, the official UK charts must be lying.
Give it a rest. I live in the UK and Gametstation or Game (same company) wouldn't have a clue if it bit them in the arse. Besides isn't that just their own chart?
@Kohlstream
Agree about Ghostbusters but haven't played new RF yet on account of hating the last two. You reckon it's worth a shot?
Most likely, after all... I know everything about everything.
The Uk is poor right now, most people have to settle for an Xbox and as such have probably bought Prototype over inFamous.
Don't get me wrong, i thought the demo was shite so i didn't buy it, but i didn't buy prototype either.
Lots of people would JUST prefer the Xbox. I know people that coloud EASILY afford a PS3 but just don't want it (And welfare kids get wiis. Trust me on that.)
@Onlinetron
Wait someone with no avatar just comprehended and used sarcasm? NIGH HIGH IMPOSSIBLE!
Just because we have wings and leave dust behind us doesn't mean we are fairies.
Also, I told no less that five people to buy Prototype, four of them did. I am ENTIRELY RESPONCIBLE FOR THIS. HOORAY.
As a Uk citizen I resent that... Now me a Pan are off to the labyrinth so we'll discuss this later.
Fighter IV sold better on the PS3 over in the UK, than it did on the 360. The PS3 had the biggest European launch ever as well.
I didn't buy either Prototype or inFAMOUS. inFAMOUS bored the hell out of me, and Prototype is fun, but isn't worth the asking price IMO.
Also what the hell are you on about "the UK is poor right now"? So is the world! There's a global recession happening! I think publishers should reduce the price of many games at the moment (Terminator Salvation for example), because games should be sold for the price they're worth.
Don't indulge him, you will get no sense and would be better talking to a plank of wood.
Sexualchocolate, do you think that because you own a PS3 that you are a baller? Or do you really consider the PS3 some sort of status symbol like owning a BMW or paying $1000s for some goofy rims? What do mean England is poor? Have looked around in the states? What's does that comment even mean? Settling for the 360 because they can't afford a PS3....do you even read what you write before you post it? What you wrote is ignorant, classist, and has little to do with why people decide to buy one game/console over another. Again, some of you fanboys are seriously hurting the brand (Sony) you care so much about with your inane comments and stances.
I expect The Sims 3 to be back on top soon and for a long time. Bad news for chav header pics.
