After fifteen years of development the FPS quickly climbed the sales ladder landing the number one position in UK. The debut sent L.A. Noire to the two spot for first time since its release.

Leading the way with Duke Nukem Forever sales was the Xbox 360 which accounted for 56 percent. Six percent of the copies sold were the £64.99 special edition version; the other 94 percent were standard. Duke was not the only winner this week, Infamous 2 and Red Faction Armageddon also saw solid debuts.

Infamous 2 broke in the top 10 in the number four position while Red Faction Armageddon was number eight. The top five positions were as follows: Duke Nukem Forever, L.A. Noire, Zumba Fitness, Infamous 2, LEGO Pirates of the Carribbean.

    I’m guessing for Xbox owners, it’s any port in a storm.  There is very little in the way of good Xbox games these days, so they have to pick the mediocre ones.

      Not really. Gaming in general is lacking imagination and the PS3 if anything is guilty of encouraging rehashing of previous classics which stifles innovation and leads to mediocre games. There is only one game that really stands out on the PS3 and that’s the ‘Last Guardian’. As an owner of both, I prefer my Xbox.

      Duke has been in development for ages and I’m glad people have bought it.
