IO Interactive's
Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days topped the UK sales charts for the week ended August 21, tracking firm Chart-Track announced Monday.
The Square-Enix published title saw a much stronger debut than the original
Kane & Lynch, which peaked at the number 14 spot in its second week in the UK.
Rounding out the top three were Disney's
Toy Story 3 and Rockstar's
Red Dead Redemption, both strong selling titles week over week.
No other new titles entered the top 10 this week, though Ubisoft's
Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands found its way to number eight.
Although it didn't break the top 10 this week, Chart-Track announced that Activision's
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 made history this week, surpassing Nintendo's
Brain Training as the best-selling title in the UK after only 10 months.
For comparison,
Brain Training took 36 months to surpass the UK's previous top-selling title, Rockstar's
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
