Still a big deal though. Even though I ordered my physical copy from eBay, I checked about 4 or 5 different supermarkets to grab a copy for my brother on release day, and not one had a copy (because they weren't selling it).One of the articles suggests it wasn't widely sold on the high street here in the U.K. so Game and specialist internet retailers must have had a field day.

And my dream is it's actually #1 in worldwide because that would mean more Alien games with bigger budgets! That's why your topic title at first got me exited. "Aliens Fireteam Elite No.1 Bestselling Game"! Woot! But then I read the chart.... aww... just UK... and aww just physical. I know digital sales comprises something crazy like 85% of all video game sales, so we'll have to keep our fingers crossed and wait for that data.
