As many in the industry predicted, Resident Evil 5 rides its wave of hype straight to number one in the All Formats chart for this week. The game is Capcom’s biggest ever launch – which of course makes it the best performing
Resident Evil game ever too. While the previous game did incredibly well on Wii, game number five has wowed the next-gen consoles. 55 per cent of sales were on 360, with 45 per cent on PS3.

SONIC AND THE BLACK KNIGHT WII
Elsewhere, there’s no surprises to see DS title Professor Layton continuing to sell well given a current media push re-promoting it. But a newcomer has made a strong debut on DS – Disney’s Club Penguin. No doubt benefitting from the virtual world’s huge audience, this could well be one of the first times a PC-only online game has made the leap to consoles, and is one to watch for continued sales.
