The recently launched Unreal Tournament III dominates sales for the PlayStation 3, with Call of Duty 4 following closely behind. Turok, Devil May Cry 4, Burnout Paradise and Assassin's Creed are sharing the third, fourth, fifth and sixth place for Sony's platform.
Xbox 360 sales are dominated by Devil May Cry 4, followed by Turok and Call of Duty 4. The fourth and fifth place are occupied by Assassin's Creed and Burnout Paradise.
For the most popular gaming platform out there, the PC, things look rather different: Football Manager 2008 is on the top spot, trailed (again...) by Call of Duty 4 and two games from The Sims series: Castaway and Bon Voyage. The battle between game-engines is won by the almighty Crysis, who reached the 5th place last week, in detriment of Epic's Unreal Tournament III, situated on the 8th spot in Great Britain.
