UK Chart: BioShock Infinite stays top as Defiance enters third

Tomb Raider clings on to second place in the UK charts.

 

Irrational Games’ BioShock Infinite has remained top of the UK charts for its second week of release, despite a 75 percent drop in overall sales, while Trion’s MMO shooter Defiance has landed in third position.

Defiance is a new IP designed to tie-in to the SyFy TV series of the same name, which premieres in the UK on April 16. The game sold the vast majority of its copies on Xbox 360, with 76 per cent of sales attributed to Microsoft’s platform.

Square Enix’s Tomb Raider clings on to second place for the third week running, with EA’s FIFA 13 also remaining in fourth.

3DS-exclusive Luigi’s Mansion 2 remains fifth for its second week, while Epic Games’ Gears of War: Judgement drops three places to sixth.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II is seventh, Assassin’s Creed III eighth, Skylanders Giants ninth, and Need for Speed: Most Wanted is in tenth.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on the 3DS and Wii U is nowhere to be seen in the full top 40, although Nintendo has said it is having issues providing copies of the game to retailers.
