ELECTRONIC ARTS saw unit sales of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince rise five per cent this week, following the launch of the latest movie. The small increase was enough to take the game to the top of the ChartTrack Top 40, overtaking Tiger Woods 10 (which fell 20 per cent in sales) and Activision’s Transformers, which rose a place to second position despite a four per cent sales dip.
