M&S Olympics Beat Out MadWorld, Overkill
The latest sales charts from Britain show that Sonic and the Black Knight is holding its own in the mix of multiplatform fare.
SBK actually jumped up one spot to #20 for the week ending March 21st. Don’t get too excited though–last week was the first full week the game was on sale. SBK hit #21 the previous week, only being available two out of the seven day week.
Still, only Empire: Total War beat out the game for top Sega title, coming in at #15. Interestingly, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games is still a contender, coming at #28. The game beat out the debut sales figures for MadWorld, as well as edging out sales for House of the Dead: Overkill.
Taking the top of the charts last week was Resident Evil 5 for the XBOX 360 and PS3, coming in at #1 and #2, respectively.

(EDIT – Inflammatory -T)
I’m surprised that Mario and Sonic’s still up there. It’s been out forever now.
Good! I guess…
Man the british just eat sonic up.
One problem w/MadWorld and Black Knight’s sales is that they came out around the same time as Resident Evil 5. I’d rather buy them over RE5.
You mean Resident Action Game. The only thing Evil about that game is the inventory menu. Now that’s some horror.
I’d be nice if people didn’t buy this garbage. This kind of tripe shouldn’t be encouraged.
Steve: What is your problem. Its a spinoff get over it
Steve: Who do you think you are, that Zero 2 from Kirby 60 who can’t be pleased by Sonic games and doesn’t want any other Sonic fan to be pleased because you are not pleased by modern Sonic games?
Some people actually like Black Knight. It got an 8 out of 10 in Games TM and they were very harsh on Unleashed. I’ve barely played it because I’ve been on Resi 5 which is fairly awesome. Just got MadWorld too so Black Knight is likely to be bumped to the back of the queue for a bit.
No, Steve’s got it right. The “it’s only a spin-off” argument is denial. It’s still a Sonic game.
^No he hasn’t. People should be allowed to buy whatever the hell the want to buy without ‘hardcore gamers’ dictating what people should and should not do with their money. Its their money, its their time and whatever way they want to spend it is up to the individual and that individual alone. It be nice for once, if people were allowed to buy and play whatever the hell game that wanted to play without having to be continuosly critizcsed for both buying the game and indeed liking the game.
Who am I kidding, this is the Sonic Fan Community were talking about here.
