The top 22: ChartTrack releases first ever UK PS3 games chart
ChartTrack (Chart-Track) is a UK-based sales monitoring service formed in 1996. It keeps track of music, video, and software retail sales in the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, and Denmark. Now they’ve released their first ever PS3 UK charts.
According to MCVUK, 165,000 Sony PlayStation 3 units were sold this weekend, breaking the first weekend launch sales record of Nintendo’s Wii (105,000 at its first weekend) and Microsoft’s Xbox 360 (an estimated 70,000) – but not breaking the 185,000 PSP launch weekend record.
ChartTrack confirmed the 165,000 sales figure, and that definitely brings Sony close to the 100 million GBP target shared by Ray Maguire, the managing director of Sony Computer Entertainment UK (100 million GBP or UK pounds sterling is nearly 200 million US dollars). Anyway, the 165,000 number might help you make a guess about the numbers of games sold, because ChartTrack didn’t release numbers – just a simple list of the top 22 Sony PlayStation 3 games sold for the week ending March 24, 2007:
