Max Payne 3 Tops UK Sales Charts

There’s still hope for the struggling UK games market after all, as Max Payne 3 has become the best selling new release of the year after beating out PC exclusive Diablo III by 8,000 units. The rebooted Rockstar shooter outsold Max Payne 2 by a ratio of 10:1, with PS3 enjoying a fair share of the sales.

FIFA Street moved down a spot into third, while last week’s winner Sniper Elite V2 fell into fourth. FIFA 12 rounded out the top five, while Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 climbed back into the top ten in seventh.
