Beijing 2008 Races to Top Spot in UK Sales

There have been some significant changes in the UK software sales charts as a flurry of big PS3 game releases have added some competition to the mix. Neither Soul Calibur IV nor Madden 2009 managed to sieze the top spot this week, however. That honor was reserved for Sega's Beijing 2008, which claimed the top spot in sales on both the Xbox 360 and Sony PS3 this week in the UK. Stay tuned until next week, as Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty arrives to shake things up once more. The PS3 exclusive from Insomniac ought to be able to grab a spot in the top three, if not the number one position.
