Crysis 3 claims second UK No.1

EA’s high-tech shooter Crysis 3 is the UK’s No.1 for the second week, despite a 43 per cent drop in sales.

It’s a one-two for EA, in fact, with FIFA 13 claiming second in the UKIE GfK Chart-Track All Formats Top 40, although its sales fell 35 per cent.

The Top Ten remains largely unchanged with all titles suffering week-on-week sales falls. There’s a re-entry at No.25 in the form of Namco Bandai’s Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch.

This week promises to be more exciting with the release of Square Enix’s Tomb Raider arriving tomorrow and EA’s SimCity hitting shelves and telephone lines on Friday.
