Toy Story 3 is Top Selling Video Game in UK

Kris Erickson • Aug 9, 2010 • Comments ()

Proving that not all movie-to-game conversions are bad, Disney Interactive has claimed the top spot in the UK sales charts this week with its console version of Toy Story 3. The blockbuster summer movie made a fairly successful translation to the small screen, racking up some pretty solid reviews and resonating with the younger gamers. For older couch potatoes, The allure of Modern Warfare 2 also proved strong this past week, as Activision's shooter remained strong in the charts. Despite being a PC-only release, Starcraft 2 also made some noise around the world as it landed with much fanfare after all these years of waiting. Ubisoft had two casual successes this past week, as its Just Dance series proves inexplicably popular in Europe.
