Resident Evil 5 goes straight to top of UK charts

Capcom has more reason to celebrate, as their horror-shooter Resident Evil 5 has debuted at number one in the All-format UK charts, knocking off last week’s number one Empire:Total War.

As reported by GI.Biz, Empire:Total War fell seven places to eighth position, while Nintendo’s Wii Fit remains as strong as ever in second place, which used to be held by Killzone 2 who are now in fifth position.

Let’s see how long Resident Evil 5 can last at the top then, considering Killzone 2 and Empire:Total War could only manage a week at the top of the charts. Full listings are below.
